Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace

It builds genuine awareness of diversity issues and the practical steps organisations take to become more inclusive, in an accessible form that suits managers and employees who want to understand D&I properly rather than superficially. Because it's an introduction, it's the right starting point for that understanding and the wrong one if you need a deep practitioner or policy-design course.

Audit it free on Coursera; a certificate needs a subscription (about $49/month) or Coursera Plus, with financial aid available, and records your completion, not a professional credential. The core ideas here remain relevant as workplaces evolve (as of 2026).

Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace is a top-rated introduction to D&I from ESSEC Business School and instructor Junko Takagi. It builds awareness of diversity issues and the practical steps organisations take to be more inclusive — useful whether you're early in your career or simply want to understand the topic better.
