Description

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion: policy, strategy and delivery in business


Diversity and Inclusion relies on the principle of equity, is underpinned by legislation and delivers social and business value. This interactive seminar will enhance your understanding of ED&I whilst also providing greater awareness of its legal and business case and will help you identify tools to review and update your strategy and discuss initiatives for impact.


This session will provide an introductory overview which will enable you to make a difference within the context of both small and large organisations. Providing an improved understanding of the tripartite nature - knowledge, behavior and attitude, you will be able to explore and prioritise actions and identify a pathway to measurable and sustained improvement. In detail, this seminar will discuss:


  • UK Equalities legislation; the implication for individuals and businesses

  • Business value and wider benefits

  • Inclusive leadership

  • Assessing your context

  • Unconscious Bias

  • Formulating a strategy

  • Policies

  • Difficult conversations and workplace culture
