Welcome to this Equality and Diversity course, my name is Robert and I will be guiding you through each section!
In this lesson, we are going to be looking at words and what they mean.
It is important that everyone in society and in the workplace has an equal opportunity
We need to now investigate more about Equality in society, the positive and the negative impacts. The handout which has been attached makes some great reading which is important to the development and understanding of The Nine Protected Characteristics, this forms part of the UK's Equality and Diversity Act and something which you can read from page 6. Read this before we move into the next session!!
If you are going to be taking on the role of a manager in the organisation, it's important to understand more about the types of discrimination which can happen in the workplace and what to avoid.
There are many different styles of diversity in the community which can be developed to support a better way of life and work, we will now look and investigate these!
What are the impacts of Inclusivity in the community...
We can now look to see how the recruitment process is impacted with Equality and Diversity
When you are looking at building more inclusivity into the workplace, you need to understand and develop your workforce through a strong leadership style which is "Transcultural Leadership"
Also, find attached a Case Study on Indra Nooyi and her unique styles of Transcultural Leadership which helped her to develop Pepsi Co with a larger market segment.
Now you have looked at Transcultural Leadership, you should look at all the leadership styles and then combine this with the work which you have learnt from the Inclusion, Equality and Diversity and understand how you can develop this and put this together.
This course has been designed to give you the first basic understandings of equality and diversity and what this means in the workplace, this is an essential subject area for professional development in the workplace for HR professionals, Leaders, Managers and those who are curious to develop their own understanding on the subject.
Use this course to give you the basics of the subject, it may inspire you to go off and develop more!
