Cultivating Cultural Competence and Inclusion

Inclusive work environments can yield greater creative output, boost employee morale, and benefit a company’s bottom line. But inclusion doesn’t just happen, and one of the key factors is cultural competence—the ability to recognize, engage, and adapt across cultural differences. In this course, DEI expert Mary-Frances Winters explores key skills to help you better understand cultural differences and explains how to leverage them to foster inclusion in the workplace. Mary-Frances starts by breaking down the concept of cultural competence into its pieces. She then helps you examine your intersecting identities that help you to begin to have more empathy towards others. And learn how to differentiate between stereotyping a culture versus recognizing cultural patterns.
