Diversity and Inclusivity: Creating a Healthy Workplace

Course overview

The populations we serve in long-term care are very diverse. They are different genders, races, ethnicities, religions, and come from different cultures. Long-term care (LTC) workers are different too, bringing their own diversity to the health care setting. This educational activity is intended to help health care workers (HCW) at long-term care (LTC) facilities create healthy work environments through increasing awareness of diversity and improving practices of inclusiveness. A health care staff composed of a range of diverse employees (by culture, race/ ethnicity, language, etc.) represented at all levels of the organization. Creating an accepting environment where differences are honored, all employees feel valued and respected, and where staff members have the confidence to do their best work.
