Summary:
Upskilling your workforce? Want to increase your understanding of diversity?
Having a workforce that is up to date on diversity makes your organisation stronger, increases its reputation, creates a safe and inclusive workplace, more satisfied employees, and makes it better placed to deal with clients in any situation.
Research shows that people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, intersex, queer, or other diversity of sexual orientation and/or gender (LGBTIQ+) experience disproportionate levels of discrimination, harassment and exclusion simply based on who they are. This environment in a workplace in particular, leads to lower employment rates, lower job satisfaction, significantly worse mental health, and poorer quality of life.
This half-day, face-to-face workshop is designed for businesses, services, educational institutions and community organisations. It will offer training around LGBTIQ+ diversity:
- Knowledge of the terminology, inclusive language and the range and types of diversity.
- Understanding of the issues people from these communities face and the impacts this can have on their lives, work satisfaction, mental health and life.
