Module 1.
Inclusion Literacy

Outcomes-driven organizations lead with intention, clarity and a strong sense of excellence. This module was focused on: 

  • Establishing a basic literacy around diversity and inclusion; 

  • Providing a common understanding of the journey towards inclusive excellence;

  • Acknowledging real-life challenges of fostering a more diverse or inclusive campus or workplace; and 

  • Affirming the contribution of inclusion towards psychologically healthy and safe campus or workplaces.

This module introduced:

  • A 3-dimensional framework of diversity (Inherent, Experiential and Thought diversity);

  • A model for the stage-by-stage process towards institutionalizing inclusivity in a workplace or campus culture (below).

  • Deloitte’s research on the three factors employees need to feel included (below).
