Equality, diversity and inclusion: the essentials
Level – Developing
Overview
When recruiting and managing people employers must consider equality and fairness at all stages of employment. People at work are protected by equality law.
We will explore the law around discrimination and look at practical steps for employers and managers to take when creating a diverse and inclusive workplace.
Employers who prioritise good practice around equality, diversity, and inclusion can:
- recruit from a wider talent pool
- benefit from a diverse range of views and experiences
- improve employee wellbeing
- better represent the diversity of their customers
This training will help build your knowledge of equality, diversity, and inclusion and improve confidence in progressing good practice in your organisation.
