This 3 hour interactive workshop for managers will provide you with the knowledge, awareness and understanding of why

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (ED&I) matters, how to disrupt bias in key decisions and become more inclusive managers in your day to day role. This would include how you as managers can support more inclusive remote workplaces.

The session will cover:

• What we mean by Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

• The Business Case: how a diverse and inclusive workplace supports your organisation’s goals

• A brief overview of the Equality Act 2010 and practical workplace scenarios where discrimination and harassment can arise

• The role of bias and how this shows up in our behaviours, shapes key decisions and actions in the workplace

• Practical strategies for addressing the real impact our conscious and unconscious bias has across the employee journey

• Top tips to become a more inclusive manager and build a culture of respect, inclusion and belonging

• Action planning

A mixture of live polls, chat, videos and small group and individual exercises will be used to engage participants and apply key concepts and examples to the workplace.

A managers checklist will be included as a post session guide to help transfer the learning to your role.

*Please note places are limited, so they will be allocated on a first come first served basis.

*All attendees will receive the joining link via email ahead of the workshop.
