Description of Diversity and Inclusion Training

This comprehensive training aims to equip employees with the essential knowledge and practical skills for promoting diversity and inclusion, mitigating unconscious bias, and enhancing cultural competence in their workplaces.

The workshop explores the tangible benefits of a diverse workforce and demonstrates how recruiting from marginalised groups not only improves business prospects but also fosters a culturally rich and innovative environment. It delves into strategies for implementing diversity and inclusion initiatives, from crafting a sourcing plan to dismantling systemic barriers in hiring processes. Participants will learn how to use their position to uplift marginalised voices and usher their organisation into a more equitable future.

Understanding and counteracting unconscious bias is a central focus of the workshop. You'll learn about the various cognitive and internalised biases that can influence decision-making, and how they can be overcome to ensure fair and logical outcomes. By examining successful business practices and strategies that have created inclusive, bias-free environments, you'll gain insights on applying these practices within your own organisation.

The workshop further enhances cultural competence by providing an in-depth exploration of the dynamics of operating in a business environment. Key topics include understanding cultural values across different nations, mastering cross-cultural negotiation, recognising and respecting cultural variations, and effectively managing communication and conflict across diverse cultural settings.

Whether you're an HR professional, a business leader, or someone aspiring to make a positive change in your organisation, this workshop offers a rich learning experience. Regardless of your background or prior knowledge, you'll leave equipped with valuable insights and practical tools to foster a diverse, inclusive, and globally competent working environment.

Workshop
This workshop focuses more on practice rather than theory, and with a much shorter duration than a course.

Unlike a course, this workshop focuses on learning practical skills, which can be learned and applied in a shorter time.

Because it is much more dynamic and practical, this workshop is engaging.

Some workshops last a maximum of 8 hours, and can be divided into a few days or be held in a single day.
