Diversity, equality and inclusion go hand in hand with wellbeing at work. Not only can discrimination impact an employee’s wellbeing, morale and performance at work – diverse teams also allow for more innovation, productivity and talent retention. In fact, more than 3 in 4 employees and job seekers (76%) report a diverse workforce is an important factor when looking for a new job.
Commitment to diversity and inclusion is an on-going strategy, which we hope our diversity and inclusion workshops below will help support. Delivered by leading experts, each with lived experience in their field, these workshops support and champion the minorities in the workplace – making meaningful change for future generations at work.
Despite many companies making commitments to their diversity and inclusion policies, there is still some way to go in supporting minority groups in the workplace.

- It is estimated that 1 in 7 people (more than 15% of people in the UK) are neurodivergent, yet the majority of business fail to create environments and processes where they can thrive.
- The disability employment gap sits steadily at 29%. Source.
The LGBTQ+ session was really successful, everyone learnt a lot. The trainer made it a really comfortable environment and made it clear that it was a space to talk and learn. Very happy that I booked this session with you and hope to book some more stuff in the future!
The race workshop was amazing and has challenged me in so many ways!
Loads of great information about the different learning difficulties and disabilities, delivered in a really honest and insightful way.
