Our society is becoming more complex and diverse. Overall population is growing; we are more ethnically diverse; and we are getting older. Equality legislation has helped challenge much discrimination and prejudice, but there are still big equality gaps and one way to address these is through equality and diversity training.
Equality is about creating a fairer society where everyone can participate and has the same opportunity to fulfil their potential.
Diversity is about recognising that everyone is different in a variety of ways. It is about creating a culture and practices that recognise, respect and value difference. It is about harnessing this potential to create a productive environment in which the equally diverse needs of the customer/client can be met in a creative environment. It is about generating a workforce who feels respected and has their potential fully utilised in order to meet organisational goals.
Traditional equality and diversity training courses are expensive to run; take your employees away from the workplace and involve an administrative burden.
Equality and diversity e-learning programme is easily the most cost efficient method for rolling out equality and diversity training; employees don’t have to take time away from the workplace to attend an equality and diversity course; instead they can learn at a time and place to suit themselves.
To help you meet your equality and diversity training requirements DeltaNet has developed two equality and diversity e-learning courses:
The Introduction to Equality and Diversity e-learning course is 30 minutes long, is aimed at an induction level and covers the key equality and diversity legalisation. It includes:
- What equality and diversity means
- What is the current equality and diversity legislation and how can you implement it
- Beliefs, perceptions and behaviours that support equality and diversity values
This 90 minute equality and diversity course covers all the current equality and diversity legislation and is aimed at all employees. It includes:
- Welcome and introduction
- Approaching equality and diversity
- Sexual orientation discrimination
- Sex discrimination
- Race discrimination
- Disability discrimination
- Age discrimination
- Faith, religion or belief discrimination
- Next steps: making a difference
Importantly this equality and diversity e-learning course includes a pre and post course assessment to test your employee's knowledge and understanding of this important piece of legalisation and ensure accurate knowledge transfer.
These equality and diversity e-learning courses are available as generic courses as part of our low cost annual subscription or can be fully customised to meet your specific requirements including branding, overall look and feel, (local language and terminology, video, graphics or voiceovers) and policy, process and procedural changes to ensure each course meets your specific needs.
