Diversity & Inclusion: Manager Skills in Focus (UK)

Overview

This course is designed to give you an understanding of issues surrounding diversity, equality and inclusion in the workplace and what you need to do as a manager. Under UK law employers have a duty of care to protect staff from unlawful discrimination in whatever form it may take. As a manager you play a key role in ensuring we create a culture of inclusion and show zero-tolerance towards any kind of discrimination.

Embracing diversity and promoting equality goes a long way in creating a work culture that values talent beyond stereotypes and in helping people reach their potential by contributing their best without prejudice. Moreover, an inclusive workplace fosters better productivity and efficiency, strengthening the business and providing greater value for everyone.

Objectives

• Foster an environment where everyone feels their voice is heard and tolerance of others is the norm - anything else is unacceptable
• Internalise and promote that diversity is good for the business further motivating them to develop a culture where all people are respected, valued, included, and appreciated
• Assess whether they need to change their diversity initiatives and, if so, how to accomplish that change
