About the Course

The summer of 2020 has brought issues of equity and race to the forefront of society. How do we create tolerant and just climates at work? Changing the culture of an organization is challenging in the best of circumstances; today, it can seem impossible. Yet, it is more necessary and urgent than ever to address these issues thoughtfully and with effective practices that can produce real change. Six Darden professors have designed this teach-out to bring you the latest scholarship and best practices on diversity, equity and inclusion and organizational change. You'll learn how to identify and counteract inequity in organizations, how to build the business case for diversity and inclusion, and how managers can constructively address inequity. You'll also learn how to promote the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion at work, how to have difficult conversations, and how to manage and lead change....

I really like the context of business becoming aware of complicit actions in systemic racism. The panel of professionals, especially the women of the panel, were very insightful with their years of experience. I am curious if this course can expland on discussing how repositioning those in power who are white and male with people who are not white or male. Could there be a complete transition or reform, or do we require some form of abolition to create equal systems?

I found this helpful and interesting. I will say that I was a bit disappointed that the course didn't delve further into other aspects of diversity. The focus seemed to be solely on race. Also, there was a lot of content around leading mindfully that I found unhelpful. I don't think the connection between leading mindfully and DEI work was explained clearly.

The content was valuable, thought-provoking, and informative. However, the vast majority of the content was from UVA sources and it felt a bit self-serving to focus so heavily on UVA speakers and content.

The course was informative. The Professors from UVA Darden had multiple sources of documentation and analytical data to support how Diversity and Inclusion can be beneficial to the whole organization.

Very good, informative and insightful though it was too centered on race and not on any other form of lack of inclusiveness at work (people with disabilities, LGBTQ+ employees, etc.)

great course and content. To get engagement it couod be interesting to punctuate the course with some regular questions to push the reader to challenge hersel or the writers?

Interesting and inspirational. I gave 4 stars only because this course doesn't release a certification.

I appreciated the course and the perspective it provided. I also like how short and to the point it was.

I did think though that it would have been interesting for the concept of diversity to expanded further (not just skin color), including disability, gender, culture, age... I did find that there were some terms discussed such as employee tax (or something along that line) that could be identified and used for many folks living with diversity.

A little amorphous for utility. I'm looking for ideas I can translate into processes in support of them and that isn't a natural extension of this work (in my case). Obviously brilliant and serious people here, but a little disconnected from one another and in sum no real synergies from the cooperative presentation approach (honestly it seems like any one individual would have created a more meaningful and coherent course independently).

I give this course 3 rating because, for over one year the course doesn't show completed and the coursera, the university nor the instructors are doing nothing about it. It is annoying that somebody can't fix a completed course to show as completed! This is a coding error that has kept students on in progress mode for 1 year and 6 months! Can somebody fix this already???????

Good course. Lots of different voices which was great. However, the course will not show up under "completed courses" which is a disappointment.

It is a great course, but I have tried unsuccessfully to have the course marked as complete. When I try to access the "help" feature I am logged out and asked to log back in. I have cleared my history and cache to no avail. Again, the content is great but...
