Diversity is nothing less than a set of identities for each of us. In creating an inclusive organisation, it is important to look at how our personal identity traits such as gender, nationality, (dis)power, age, religion, social status affect us on a daily basis – both at a personal and organisational level.

What does an organisation need to think about in order to meet the needs of different groups and create a safe and respectful working environment? By bringing these topics to the workplace, inclusion ambassadors note that organisations may face challenges, resistance from employees, confusion about which topics to prioritise and which ones (and how?) to communicate.

Consultations:

For organisations that want to start introducing inclusion and diversity practices and take a strategic approach to this area. During the meeting, we help you to understand the topic of diversity and inclusion itself, to unify concepts and approaches, and to clarify which areas are most relevant for your organisation and what steps can be taken to strengthen them.

Training for organisations to:

• learn about the concepts of diversity and inclusion;
• experience how attitudes influence decision-making;
• get tips on what to look for in order to bring about change and tools to plan your organisation’s diversity and inclusion communications.

What you will get from this training:

• you will hear valuable insights into what helps (re)create an inclusive work environment where every employee feels valued and accepted;
• you will gain practical skills on how to communicate effectively about diversity and inclusion and how to react in unexpected situations;
• learn how to involve employees and managers in the change process;
• you will go back to work with ideas for an action plan and tools that you can apply immediately.
