Topic: Workplace Wellbeing + Understanding Inclusive Design

Course Description:

Workplace Wellbeing: This course is about the importance of understanding wellbeing in the workplace. It is a growing concern for many organizations and is quickly becoming a bottom line issue that drives business performance. CEO’s value employees who are collaborative, communicative, creative and flexible. But only recently are leaders realizing that fostering these skills requires a focus on employees’ wellbeing. New Steelcase research and insights show how the workplace can help organizations attain employee wellbeing and business results they desire. Learn how to design workplaces that support the physical, cognitive and emotional wellbeing holistically.

Understanding Inclusive Design: Inclusive Design is the process of using participatory methods to inform design, enabling designers and architects to create new ways for traditionally excluded communities to engage in activities of their choice. The practice of Inclusive Design is critical to the success of any design practice as it enables designers and architects to create spaces and products that are compelling and inclusive for all. In this CEU course, participants will delve into the principles and practices of inclusive design, including understanding the needs of diverse stakeholder groups, incorporating equitable design best practices, and leveraging different lived experiences and perspectives as a source of inspiration, innovation and creativity. Learners will explore real-world case studies to better understand the impact of inclusive design on building and product design. By the end of the course, participants will be equipped with the knowledge and skills they need to apply inclusive design principles to their own work and make design accessible and inclusive for everyone.
