This course highlights the importance of diversity and equal employment opportunity (EEO) in the workplace. Topics include understanding diversity, addressing unconscious bias, combating discrimination, and promoting an inclusive work environment. We will investigate the impact of biases, learn how to recognise discrimination, and know how to report violations, fostering a workplace culture of respect and inclusivity.
The ready2work COMPLIANCE series is designed for all staff and will typically overlap learning in the HSE series. With a basic grounding from the associated courses in that range, we can now focus on specific requirements in more detail. In most workplaces, workers complete these courses within the first weeks of their employment and some titles might need to be refreshed every few years based on workplace requirements.
Explore the significance of diversity and the impact of unconscious bias in the workplace. Learn about various forms of discrimination, including age, impairment, ethnic, religious, and sex discrimination, and the importance of EEO in preventing discrimination and harassment. Develop skills in avoiding discrimination and harassment, recognising violations, and accessing external support services to foster a culture of respect, diversity, and equal employment opportunity.
