Inclusive Leadership Program
A diversity and inclusion training program for leaders
This program looks at building inclusive leadership behaviours that support people who are excluded or under-represented in the workplace. It challenges unconscious bias and builds understanding around diversity: i.e., gender, LGBTIQA+, neurodiversity, ability/disability, ethnicity, and people who are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander. The aim is to provide equitable access, opportunities, and a strongly empathetic workplace culture.
