Overview
This unit examines the role of diversity and inclusion in modern workplaces. Many modern workplaces still struggle with diversity and inclusion, and how it translates into better organisational performance. In this unit, we study the economics of workplace diversity and inclusion. In addition to providing an understanding of barriers to diversity and inclusion, we investigate the success and failure of interventions, and together design possible solutions to overcome these barriers.
