Workshop Overview:
From political unrest to religious and philosophical divides, today’s global issues are increasingly showing up in our workplaces. Employees are more vocal than ever about their values, identities, and beliefs - including those protected under the Equality Act 2010. But when views clash, the result can be damaging: fractured teams, grievances, discrimination claims, or even reputational fallout.
Leaders and managers need to feel confident navigating these conversations, balancing freedom of belief with respect, inclusion, and legal compliance. Failing to manage these tensions not only risks employee wellbeing but can expose your organisation to legal and cultural consequences. Join this urgent workshop to help you handle belief-related conflict with clarity, confidence, and care.
Learning Objectives:
You'll gain a practical understanding of:
- What legally counts as a 'belief' under the Equality Act 2010 (and what doesn't)
- How discrimination can arise and how to prevent it
- Where to draw the line: balancing the right to hold beliefs with expectations for respectful behaviour
- What to do when beliefs cause upset or conflict in your workplace
