Equality, diversity and inclusion are invaluable - both in everyday life and in the workplace.
We live in a world which is now organised and connected globally.
Business and organisations need to respond to this new diverse landscape, and the best corporations increasingly align with it.
A diverse organisation which embraces equality is far more likely to possess a self-supporting mixture of people, capabilities and experience necessary to succeed in the modern world.
Research has repeatedly shown that embracing diversity and inclusion increases corporate profits and improves performance.
This workshop introduces the concepts of equality, diversity and inclusion, and provides an overview of the main legislation. It has been designed to help learners understand more about their responsibilities for promoting equality, tackling all forms of discrimination and fostering good relationships between diverse groups of people in the workplace.
