According to statistics produced by the Employment Tribunals Service, an astonishing £39.5 million was paid out on nearly 4,500 cases involving inequality and discrimination alone in 2007-08, and the number of single cases is estimated to have risen by a dramatic 28% for 2008-09.
These cases can so easily be avoided by having good equality and diversity policies and procedures in place and ensuring all staff receive the training they need. With individual pay outs for successful cases of up to £227,000 can your business really afford to cut costs on training?
But of course it is not as simple as that:
- How do you manage the workload and release people to attend training?
- How do you ensure everyone has completed the training?
- How can you assess how competent they are following the training?
- How do you keep everyone's knowledge fresh and up to date?
DeltaNet International Limited has developed a suite of e-learning modules to allow you to provide highly effective training for all of your staff without impacting on the normal day-to-day running of your business.
What’s more, the materials can be customised for your business at minimal cost, demonstrating the importance of Equality and Diversity within the organisation and helping you to build a culture of understanding and acceptance as well as equal opportunities for all employees.
We can provide Equality and Diversity Training in two forms, depending on the needs of your organisation:
- A full-length Equality and Diversity course, with individual modules covering each of the aspects of discrimination, as well as an optional pre-course, and post-course assessment that managers can use to assess employees progress.
- A single module Introduction to Equality and Diversity, which provides a comprehensive overview of equality and diversity for all employees.
