Diversity & Employee Engagement

Programme Overview

This module equips you with a thorough understanding of the advantages and challenges presented by workplace diversity, suggesting techniques to manage effectively and maximise the benefits of diversity. You will be guided through a comprehensive understanding of effectively managing diversity on the basis of race, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, age, ability, national origin, and intersectionality in organisations and about issues various groups face, including discrimination. 

In addition, you will analyse data in ways that facilitate the development and evaluation of human resource (HR) policies, practices, and strategies. Having an engaged workforce improves organisational productivity, because engaged employees are involved in, enthusiastic about, and committed to their work and workplace. It is critical for managers to understand the human resource management practices that facilitate employee engagement as well as how to conduct a competent workforce survey and use the data to assess and maintain/improve employee engagement.
