What does this mean to the learner?

Many employees, whilst accepting diversity in the workplace, do so in a somewhat fatalistic manner – ‘that’s just the way things are’. This course will help them to understand that diversity is not just a fact of life; it is a positive benefit, enhancing the workplace with new skills, attitudes and ideas. The contrast drawn between a new, exciting and positive age of diversity and the old, depressing and negative age of discrimination is a sharp one that will help the learner to focus clearly on why they should become involved in fostering equal opportunity in their workplace.

What does this mean to the learner’s company?

Creating and implementing an effective equal opportunities policy is vital to any employer, large or small. Having a policy that actually works depends heavily on possessing a workforce that is committed to that policy, and understands the benefits that emerge from it. This course will contribute in a major way to the education of the workforce and to the creation of positive attitudes towards diversity.

Objectives:

Having completed this course the learner will understand the issues surrounding discrimination, and recognise the benefits of diversity within the workplace. The learner will also be able to identify and avoid discrimination, whilst actively encouraging diversity and fostering the emerging benefits.
