The Equality Imperative for Business and Organisations

Posted: 13th March 2024

As a fundamental, the UK Equality Act (2010) provides an imperative for organisations to protect employees from discrimination.

However, the substantive evidence is clear that diversified and more inclusive organisations are more productive, including creative, efficient, effective and/or profitable.

To assist you, we are excited to launch a new series of inclusion and wellbeing courses to help you with the following questions:

  1. How can I recruit and retain a more diversified workforce?
  2. How can I promote employee awareness of the equality necessity?
  3. How can I reduce bias in the organisation for more effective inclusive working?
  4. How can I promote more competent cross culture working with clients?
  5. How can I enable my staff to reduce stress and promote better mental wellbeing?

If you would like a free inclusion audit of your organisation and to discuss the best options for workforce development, please email:  enquiries@wellbeinginsight.org.uk or call 0131 564 1646
