Equality, diversity, and inclusion are all about treating people fairly and with respect, no matter what their differences may be.

​

This ASPIRE Equality, Diversity & Inclusion training programme looks at how we behave at work and how our behaviour may affect those around us and was created in collaboration with global EDI experts.

​

It addresses unacceptable behaviour, stereotyping, victimisation and discrimination as well as introducing the protected characteristics around the world - suggesting ways in which to build a more supportive, harmonious workplace.

​

An open and inclusive workplace has many benefits - both to the organisation and to individuals; such benefits include an increase in morale, better staff retention, and improved company reputation.

​

By the end of our training you will feel more confident at addressing sensitive issues surrounding equality, diversity, equity, and inclusion; and we hope they will feel inspired and ready to make a positive difference in their workplace and the wider community.
