HR Training
Equality, Diversity & Inclusion
Equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) are vital components of any successful team or organisation. Research has repeatedly shown that diverse and inclusive teams are the happiest and most successful.
Our Equality, Diversity & Inclusion training course will develop delegates’ understanding of these concepts so that they can lead by example and demonstrate best practice. Delegates will also learn that creating a diverse and inclusive workplace is about more than just treating people equally.

Who should attend?
This course will be useful to anyone involved in managing people, including those with HR responsibilities.
Who will deliver the training?
Our management training is delivered by highly-experienced and qualified HR practitioners with genuine ‘hands-on’ practical experience of supporting employers all over the UK with their HR requirements.
What are the benefits?
- Delegates will increase their knowledge of EDI and gain an understanding of what these concepts look like in practice. They won’t just learn the theory; they will leave the session with an understanding of the practical steps that they can take to promote EDI and demonstrate best practice. This should, in turn, help to drive a more inclusive workplace culture and the significant benefits this can bring.
- Delegates will also understand the potentially significant legal risks in this area, therefore mitigating the organisation’s exposure to liability.
- By enrolling staff in this course, organisations will benefit from a more knowledgeable workforce who are less likely to demonstrate discriminatory behaviours. The training will also support organisations’ ‘statutory defence’ in the event of a harassment claim.
