Why is Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Training Essential?
The purpose of equality and diversity legislation is to enable employees to work in an environment that is free from all forms of discrimination, harassment, bullying and victimisation.
In the UK, we live and work in a diverse society, as a result, we regularly come into contact with people who have different backgrounds, views, values and beliefs. Sometimes, we can be prejudiced without even realising that we are. The purpose of this Equality and Diversity training course is to look at how we can play our part in promoting a more harmonious and productive environment that is free from discrimination. To do this, it is important to acknowledge current legislation, but no law can truly get under the skin of how people behave. By raising awareness about unconscious bias and the impact this can have on our day-to-day views and decisions, people enhance understanding and empathy among employees and work to mitigate potential bias.
Organisations that prioritise Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Training typically experience improved engagement, increased employee morale and job satisfaction which in turn, affects loyalty and retention. It’s no surprise that a diverse and empowered workforce fuels innovation, change and advancement.
