Middle to senior managers with responsibility for delivering or managing diversity in their business area, business teams or across their organisations. HR, learning and development and OD practitioners who wish to gain a better understanding of how to create diversity programmes that deliver a long-term and positive impact.

Today, many organisations are out-thinking and out-performing their competitors by using diversity as a strategy for ensuring long-term success and advantage. Firmly grounded in psychology, this workshop focuses on how to gain value from cultural uniqueness and benefit from diversity rather than allowing it to build walls. The workshop draws on the cultural, behavioural and mindset shifts required to achieve immediate impact and sustained change when implementing diversity programmes.

By the end of the course you will be able to:

• build a strong case for introducing a culture that positively embraces diversity
• apply key psychological theories to understand people’s underlying attitudes and behaviours towards diversity at work
• draw upon psychological models when implementing diversity programmes to maximise the impact on individuals and on your organisation
• recognise diversity competencies and how they relate to leadership and managerial behaviour in the workplace
• benefit from enhanced awareness of your own attitudes towards diversity as well as those of others.
