Lisa Nishii

Associate Professor, Cornell ILR School

Lisa Nishii joined the faculty of the Human Resource Studies department at the ILR School, Cornell University after receiving her Ph.D. and M.A. in Organizational Psychology from the University of Maryland, and a B.A in economics from Wellesley College. Nishii is an expert on inclusion in organizations. Her research focuses on the confluence of organizational practices, leadership behaviors, and climate for inclusion on individual and group-level outcomes. Using multi-level and multi-method research designs across a number of large-scale federally funded projects, she has found that leaders play an important role in shaping inclusion. In particular, the extent to which leaders role model inclusive behaviors, clarify the learning and innovation benefits of diversity for the group’s work, and set strong norms related to interpersonal interactions, determines the inclusiveness of their workgroup climates. In turn, workgroup climate has important implications for the authenticity of the relationship that group members develop, the positive versus negative quality of relational ties, the information that is shared among group members, the extent of conflict that is experienced, and ultimately the creativity, financial performance, and turnover rates associated with these groups. Workgroup climate also impacts individual-level experiences of discrimination versus inclusion, as well as engagement and performance. She is currently developing and testing the effectiveness of training interventions for leaders as well as for in-tact teams on how to cultivate workgroup inclusion. Nishii’s earlier research focused primarily on diversity in individual-level cognition and behavior as determined by national culture. Nishii actively publishes in top-tier journals, including the Academy of Management Review, Academy of Management Journal, Journal of Applied Psychology, Personnel Psychology, and Science, and serves on the editorial boards for AMR, AMJ, and JAP. She is currently the Chair of the Academy of Management’s Gender and Diversity in Organizations Division, and the Chair of the ILR School’s International Programs.

Cancellation Policy

Refund Policy

  • Students can claim a refund for the amount paid towards the program at any time before the batch commencement date by raising a request with their Student Relationship Manager. A processing fee of Rs. 10,000 will be levied. If less than Rs. 10,000 has been paid in total, the student shall not be eligible for any refund in such a case.
  • Students shall not be eligible for any refund under any circumstances if any such refund requests are raised after the batch commencement date, and students will continue to pay the EMI for the loan (if applicable), and such loan cannot be cancelled. This is also applicable for those students who could not complete their payment and could not be enrolled in the batch they opted for. However, students can raise a request for the pre-program deferral as per the policy given below for the same.

Deferral Policy: (Pre-Program Commencement)

  • If a student is unable to commence with the current batch due to unavoidable circumstances and requests a deferral before the cohort starts, we provide the opportunity for the student to defer to another batch.
  • However, the student will be required to pay 50% of the total course fee amount (inclusive of taxes) before the deferral can be approved. Until this is completed, the student will be assumed to be continuing in the same batch.
  • The student has time until the current cohort launch date to make the payment of the 40% program fee, after which the deferral request will expire. Once the deferral window has expired and the student asks for a refund thereafter, the above-mentioned applicable refund policy will apply.
  • No additional deferral fee is required to be paid by the student in the above-given scenario.

Deferral Policy: (Post Program Commencement)

  • If a student is having severe issues dedicating time to the course, we provide the opportunity for the student to defer to another batch.
  • A student may request deferral to either of the scheduled cohorts beginning the following year from the batch start date of the student's initial batch only once.
  • The student will be required to pay a deferral fee of 10% of the total course fee (plus taxes) along with the differential program fees between the two batches (if applicable). The deferral request will be approved once the deferral fee is paid. Until this is completed, the student will be assumed to be continuing in the same cohort.
  • If the student completes the deferral payment, the student’s login will be disabled, and the student will leave the deferred batch and start learning on the new batch from the last assignment that was graded in the deferred batch. All grades and progress up to that point will be carried over to the new cohort in their entirety.
  • The deferral can only be requested while the batch for which the student has enrolled is ongoing. Once the batch has been completed, deferral requests will not be entertained. For clarification, "batch completion" here shall mean the "last grace deadline" as communicated by Talentedge/upGrad

All cases of deferral require explicit approval from the institution and will be accepted only if the institution agrees. In the event of non-agreement, we will follow the refund policy above.
