Today, diversity in the workplace encompasses a variety of factors such as age, ethnicity, and more, making the work environment more inclusive and accepting of differences among colleagues and leaders. The significance of cultural diversity in the workplace is reflected in its definition, which emphasizes the inclusion of eligible individuals from all backgrounds, regardless of race, region, religion, gender, and other factors. It also ensures that underrepresented groups have equal representation. This Inclusive Leadership course provides access to video speeches and podcasts that explore the importance of cultural diversity and inclusion in the workplace.
As you watch and listen, reflect on how you can become more aware of cultural diversity and how to be a more inclusive leader.

Why does it make sense to use complicated acronyms, symbols and words to describe who we are as people? If we are all merely human beings, why does the LGBT-community insist on using complicated pronouns and acronyms that sets them apart? In this TedxTalk, activist and diversity trainer, Fahad Saeed, will explain why it makes sense to use inclusive language, why minority rights should concern the heterosexual majority and how words that can seem complex, can help set you free as well. Fahad Saeed is an expert on diversity and inclusion. 13 years ago he co/founded Denmarks only organization for ethnic minority LGBT/persons. In his daily life, he works as a communications consultant. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

In Michael Bach’s book, Birds of All Feathers: Doing Diversity and Inclusion Right, he explains, “Accessibility is often forgotten when speaking about diversity and inclusion, but it is the missing link. You can have the most diverse workforce and the most inclusive workplace, but if anyone experiences barriers to access—be they physical, institutional, societal, or the like—then you haven’t ensured inclusion for all.”
In this episode of Team Building Saves the World, Rich speaks with Naomi Panarella about workplace accessibility. As a member of the blind community, Naomi tells us about her experiences navigating the workplace and what companies can do to create a more inclusive and accessible environment for all.
