Certifying Organizations
Course Description
In this course on Understanding Marginalization, you'll learn what happens when individuals or groups are left out of workplace opportunities and decisions. Sometimes, it's subtle, like ignoring someone's ideas in meetings. Other times, it's built into company policies that create unfair barriers for certain employees. No matter how it happens, marginalization lowers productivity and keeps workplaces from being truly inclusive. This course will help you find ways to create fair opportunities for everyone, no matter their background.
You'll explore how marginalization affects both employees and organizations. You'll also learn about intersectionality, which looks at how different parts of a person’s identity—like race, gender, and disability—combine to create unique challenges at work. This course will also dive into the history of workplace exclusion and how past biases still shape the way people experience work today. By the end of this course, you'll be able to recognize unfair policies and behaviors and take real steps to build a more inclusive workplace.
