Diversity
               Training Course

Try answering these questions:

If behaviour occurs in the workplace that amounts to discrimination; who is liable to pay compensation?

1. The Employer
2. The Supervisor or Manager
3. Both a. and b.

If a case is found in favour of the victim, the employment tribunal can award the following compensation to the victim against the offender.

1. Up to £50,000
2. Up to £100,000
3. An unlimited amount

The answer is c in both questions.

Are your supervisors and managers aware that they could be made to pay large amounts of money to one of their staff because they were not treated with equality? Do they understand what equality means?

It is not uncommon for companies and organisations to pay £40,000 or more because they have not trained their staff in equal opportunity issues.

Untrained supervisors and managers often do not realise what they are doing is wrong and this is why the company is made to pay more than their managers. Training in equal opportunities can help to ensure equality takes place in the workplace and reduce the company’s liability.

This course is designed to help delegates understand the importance of equal opportunities and how it is applied at work along with an appreciation of the legislation associated with it.

“Never look down on somebody unless you are helping them up.”   Anon.

Who will benefit: All supervisors and managers.

Duration: 1 day

Our courses consist of 'In-Company' training; we visit companies’ premises or hotels and run courses according to company and staff needs.

We do not run training courses for people from different companies to attend. However, we do run courses consisting of one or two delegates. This enables us to move at the pace of the delegates (as fast or slow as necessary; as deep into the subject as appropriate, and with as much development as possible). These are not as expensive as you might think!
