Conversations about diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) have become increasingly prominent in workplaces, but they are also occurring within a changing political, social, and legislative landscape. This course provides a clear and balanced introduction to DEI, exploring what it means in practice for organisations and employees, particularly within engineering and technical sectors. Participants will examine the purpose of DEI initiatives, review relevant legislation and organisational responsibilities, and consider how organisations can approach inclusion in a thoughtful, constructive, and legally informed way. The course also acknowledges the evolving public conversation around DEI, helping participants engage with the topic with confidence and clarity.
