• Unconscious Bias
  Unconscious bias takes an in-depth look at the nature of bias and how it impacts on the workplace. The course provides psychological insights into how our own behaviour might be affected by prejudice and looks at what we can do to reduce or eliminate its influence in the decisions that we make.
• Challenging Behaviour
  Combining original drama with personal testimony and expert analysis, this course covers a wide range of bullying and harassment issues, giving employees the tools for recognising and tackling inappropriate behaviour and the skills for working successfully as part of a diverse team.
• Tackling race bias at work
  While there has been a significant decline in overt racist behaviours over the past 40 or 50 years, subtle manifestations of racial bias continue to have a negative impact on people from a black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) background.
• Disabled adventures in customer service
  In this course, we take a wry look at customer service from the perspective of disabled customers and service users through the experiences of a group of disabled professional comedians from the comedy collective Abnormally Funny People.
• Disabled adventures in work and recruitment
  Employers often tend to see the disability before the person and make assumptions about their needs and capabilities – and this can mean that the skills and potential of disabled job applicants and staff are not being properly recognised.
• Sexual orientation
  The limited information available suggests that around 1 in 20 people in the UK are lesbian, gay or bisexual – but the real figure may be significantly higher.
• Supporting trans and non-binary people at work: A guide for managers
  Knowing how to support your trans and non-binary staff and create a respectful and safe environment for them is key to promoting their own personal well-being and ensuring that your organisation manages to harness and nurture the very best talent.
• Trans and non-binary awareness
  It’s estimated that around 4% of the population in Europe and the US could be transgender, non-binary or gender non-conforming.
• Creating an environment based on respect
  Bullying, harassment and other types of inappropriate behaviour can have a profound impact both at work and beyond. In our increasingly diverse workplaces, everyone has a role to play in creating an environment that’s based on respect and enables everyone to give their best.
• The effective bystander
  As bystanders in our everyday and working lives, we all have a responsibility to take action when we witness bullying, harassment and other inappropriate behaviour.
• Bullying and harassment - effective interventions
  Tackling inappropriate behaviour at work isn’t just about having the right policies in place. It’s about everyone taking effective action to challenge bullying, harassment and other unacceptable conduct and create a diverse and respectful working environment.
• Maternity and paternity
  There are few more important moments in a person’s life than becoming a parent – and as an employer, you have an important role in supporting them on their journey.
• Menopause at work
  This course looks at the common symptoms and long-term effects of the menopause and aims to raise awareness for women, their managers and colleagues (of all genders) generally.
• Banter in the workplace
  This course looks at the nature of banter in the workplace and when it can be inappropriate or unlawful in terms of bullying, harassment and discrimination.
