Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Training
Creating a workforce that champions inclusion
Companies that prioritise equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) don’t just get rewarded with a more diverse, engaged and loyal workforce. They see their profits grow too; inclusive companies are up to 120% more likely to hit their financial target goals (DriveResearch, 2023).
Don’t miss out on the benefits of a diverse and inclusive workplace. Equip your people with the understanding, language and tools to embed EDI in the workplace.
What is EDI Training?
Key topics covered include:
- Get the key concepts right: exploring the meaning of diversity, inclusion, equity and equality, highlighting the differences and why each matters in achieving fair outcomes.
- The legal framework for EDI: understanding the purpose and practicalities of the Equality Act (2010) and protected characteristics as defined by the Act.
- Intersectionality: unpacking how overlapping social identities compound discrimination and shape workplace experiences.
- Unconscious bias and microaggressions: developing a practical approach to recognising and addressing biases and microaggressions in the workplace.
- Active advocacy and allyship: defining strategies for effective allyship to support colleagues and foster an inclusive culture for everyone.
