Training Approach
Tailored to your needs
Our training sessions are bespoke and tailored to meet the unique needs of your workplace. We will begin with an initial meeting to understand your organisation, review your policies and procedures, and distribute pre-training questionnaires to participants.
A safe space for discussion
We adopt a non-judgemental, non-confrontational, open and honest approach. Participants are actively encouraged to bring forward questions and concerns which are addressed throughout the session.
Engaging and interactive
Sessions include engaging activities, thoughtful discussions and real-world-scenarios related to your industry. This provides opportunities for people to reflect, work through solutions and develop proactive approaches to create lasting organisational change.
Up-to-date and relevant
Our training is informed by the latest research and best practices. As members of the Institute for Equality and Diversity Professionals, Equally Ours, and the CIPD, we stay up-to-date with emerging issues, case law, and literature to ensure our content remains current and effective.
Learning resources
Participants will receive resources to support and implement their learning, ensuring the training’s impact extends well beyond the session.
