America's business environment is an ever-changing mosaic of different races, ages, genders, ethnic
groups, religions, and lifestyles. This diversity poses significant challenges and opportunities for
the workplace. Today's companies must find ways to make all these pieces fit together and must foster
work environments free of harassment and discrimination for all their employees.

and inclusion. We must recognize these biases in ourselves and avoid behaviors that can harm working
relationships, damaging morale and productivity and stifling our individual growth. This course provides
an overview of barriers to inclusion in the workplace.
