Leading in Diversity

Leading in Diversity

We live and work in an increasingly diverse and multi-cultural society; businesses ignore this at their peril. In accordance with the Equalities Act (2013), employers must be aware that they cannot discriminate on the basis of nine protected characteristics:

  1. Sex
  2. Age
  3. Race
  4. Religion or Belief
  5. Sexual Orientation
  6. Disability
  7. Marriage or Civil Partnership
  8. Trans-Gender
  9. Maternity or Parenthood

As employers and leaders, we are all legally responsible for ensuring that our staff are made fully aware of their rights and responsibilities in this area. At ELS, we have been working in this area for years, training personnel to behave within the law and with best practice. When your business embraces diversity, it thrives. Working with ELS we will help encourage an inclusive environment and capitalise on the potential of a diverse human terrain. We can provide legal briefings to guide employers and bespoke packages, tailored to your business’s needs, helping you to promote inclusion and avoid potential pitfalls.

We can enhance your business by:

  • Training your staff in the rules governing equality in the workplace as set out in the Equalities Act of 2010, revised 2013.
  • Helping to create a culture of inclusion in your working environment.
  • Creating a collegiate working environment where problems are shared and their effects can be undermined.
  • Making staff, at all levels, aware of the effects of change and the difficulties that must be faced in order to achieve success.
  • Training your staff with real life examples of how other organisations have failed to understand human factors and how to avoid the same mistakes.
