Equality and Diversity training. How does it matter in the workplace, anyway? Surely, the average staff member is too focused on their work to treat those of a different background to them in a hostile way? Alas, you would be surprised just how necessary such training remains in the 21st century workplace. However, equality and diversity training is also about so much more than political correctness or the basic respect for other people that one might imagine it to boil down to. True, a company may initially seek such training due to a documented instance of sexual harassment or other discriminatory behaviour, but they may just as plausibly do so to make a previously unchartered market segment more accessible. In the latter case, such training may be necessary to avoid inadvertent disrespect towards those of different backgrounds, a situation that could harm relations and therefore business. The overarching goal of equality and diversity training is to promote equal treatment and mutual respect towards people of various races, religious beliefs, sexualities and genders. We are proud, here at Cerulean, to be doing our bit to help the staff of UK organisations to understand the impact that their words, actions and demeanour have on other people in their workplace. We encourage trainees to do everything possible to treat all members of their workforce or community equally. One thing that has become clear in recent years is that an understanding of diversity is no longer just 'nice to have', but is actually very important for business. Businesses where every member of staff is treated with dignity and respect are businesses that thrive in their given sectors, due to the positive and productive relations that result, with those both inside and outside the company. Our own equality and diversity training here at Cerulean is available as one of our famous Learning Lunches, where your staff can be given training within their lunch hour. We'll help your key people to build on their current understanding of diversity and the dignified and respectful treatment of everyone in their company. They will learn the basics of current equalities legislation, in addition to being equipped with the skills needed to perpetuate respect for others throughout your workplace. With Cerulean's help, we'll ensure that your organisation provides a more welcoming and equal environment for absolutely everyone who works for you.
