Equality and Diversity

Diverse workforces offer a mixture of skill sets, experiences and ways of thinking that benefit individuals and the organisations they work for. Diversity can increase creativity, innovation, productivity and wellbeing, helping to create a working environment where everyone can reach their full potential.             

We will focus on understanding the definitions of diversity and inclusion and the benefits they can bring to the workplace and society. We will look at what unconscious bias is, the different types of bias and how they can be combatted. We will identify the different qualities and characteristics that make up diversity, such as personality traits, culture, neurodiversity, LGBTQ+ and mental health. We will look at how individuals can foster inclusion and respect in the workplace, such as by using inclusive language.
