Blind Spots: introduction to equality, diversity and inclusion
Event Information
About this event
This webinar provides a beginner’s introduction to the topics of equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) .
EDI has never been more front and centre of many organisations’ minds. However, many employees may not know or understand the key differences between the three terms, or how each can contribute to organisational success.
The webinar aims to clarify the terminology, jargon, and misconceptions behind EDI, as well as the legal requirements in the workplace.
It also looks at the critical business case for building inclusive workplaces and employing diverse workforces, and how to begin to do this.
Join Spot The Gap founder, Alex Marshall, for this informational webinar, which includes:
- Equality, diversity & inclusion: what’s the difference?
- The Equality Act 2010 and legal requirements in the workplace.
- The benefits of employing a diverse workforce and what gets in the way of this.
- What an inclusive organisational culture looks like and how it can create more successful and sustainable organisations.
The webinar is informational in format and includes time for Q&A.
