typically experienced discrimination. To help these employees overcome
barriers at work, many companies have created diversity and inclusion
programs.

relation to diversity in their employee handbook. The policy should contain
information about non-discrimination laws, the code of conduct, and the
compensation and benefits policy.
 Provide sensitivity training – Employees should be provided with
sensitivity training to create a better workplace culture. Sensitivity training can
help employees to value views that are different, understand words, and
actions that cause offense and what needs to be done if they’ve been
offended.
 Create an accountability plan – Use regular surveys to check in on your
progress and have a plan in place for how you’re going to ensure staff uphold
these policies.
 Address micro-aggressions – Examples might be commenting on how
well an ethnically diverse person speaks English. Use trainings to help address
these mico-aggressions
 Impose a zero-tolerance policy – After employees have received the
handbook and training about diversity issues, the company needs to set the
tone about how violations will be dealt with. Employees should be aware that
inappropriate behaviour will not be tolerated and every reported incident will
be taken seriously.
