Career Acceleration Plan (CAP)

C-Suite Accelerator Program

Building and Sustaining Inclusive Teams

An inclusive work environment promotes a sense of belonging and acceptance among employees, which can improve engagement and job satisfaction. It also can foster diverse perspectives and experiences which can lead to innovation and creativity as well as improved decision-making and problem solving. An inclusive environment can also help you attract and retain talent. This CAP will help you demonstrate that you are an inclusive leader and serve as an advocate for an inclusive culture.

"Simply put, diversity is the mix and inclusion is making the mix work. When an organization does not have an inclusive culture, diversity is just a number."

- Verna Myers, VP of Inclusion Strategy at Netflix
