Diversity Training for just £6 per person.......

Many organisations are now using their Diversity calendar to deliver diversity and equality programmes to benefit all their staff.  We’ve detailed 45 training exercises below as examples for trainers, managers and supervisors to use.

£6 is all you need to have one of the UK’s leading resources on diversity.  The Diversiton calendar is like no other.  It challenges our thinking on the recent age legislation.  It’s an essential reference on the feasts and holidays that are relevant to employees.  It encourages us to think about what diversity means at all levels of our organisation.

 

The calendar is packed with a broad range of information and perspectives on equality and diversity.  In particular, it can help your employees to:

  • Develop their understanding of the concept of ‘diversity’.
  • Build their appreciation of Age diversity and awareness of the 10 most common Age Myths.
  • Learn about the beliefs and practices of 8 main faith communities in the UK.
  • Keep track of the main religious festivals and special days. This will help managers

to ensure that planned meetings do not coincide with faith events. 

  • Think about equality in a more global context given the rapidly changing demographics in the workplace. Our Equality2007 initiative will be exploring the challenge of addressing poverty as part of our wider equality and inclusion work.
  • Appreciate the increasing importance of diversity to all types of organisations involved in the calendar.
