PRACTICAL DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION TRAINING

Inclusion training that sparks change


Our diversity and inclusion training is designed to give you practical solutions that not only raise awareness but create opportunities for growth. We design programmes, initiatives, and resources, and advise on best practice which will increase employee diversity and create inclusive workplaces. Everyone can be better informed and contribute to bigger organisational goals.

Facilitated training

Increase knowledge, understanding, and skills across your whole organisation. We can help boost your diversity and inclusion understanding and skills for employees in all roles. We believe the most impactful, effective and efficient model is blended learning, using eLearning and other formats.

If you add face-to-face training to your offering, then it allows learners to network and interact with each other and share their own experiences. They can get support quicker, and correct errors sooner, with the help of engaging expert trainers. And your team can engage with the course content and exercises in a comfortable environment.

Consultancy services

We can advise on best practice, and design programmes, initiatives, and resources to help you tackle your diversity and inclusion challenges. Maybe you’re writing your first diversity and inclusion strategy, want to increase applicant diversity, or have another challenge facing your organisation: whatever your goals, we can help.

Our areas of expertise include support in setting up - or improving - your diversity monitoring systems or declaration rates. We can advise on getting senior buy-in for diversity action and initiatives. We can show you what to do to make fair and unbiased decisions, and what you can do to support your diverse talent progressing in your company. And we can start the conversation about diversity and inclusion.
