The Diversity Challenge
Maximising the potential of our diverse workforce
The UK workforce is more diverse that it has ever been. There are more women, ethnic minorities and disabled people in the workforce than ever before, moreover the workforce is getting older. It is estimated that by 2011 white non-disabled men will only make up a fifth of the labour market.
For organisations to continue to be successful, they must recruit, retain and promote talented people without prejudice. Equally, it is critical that the existing workforce welcomes these people and provides a secure, inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and their talents fully utilised.
This diversity training DVD/video enables trainers and managers to understand the changes at both individual and organisational level that need to be made to achieve an inclusive workplace and workforce.
The Diversity Challenge comes in three parts:
Part One: Provides an overview of the changing nature of the working environment in terms of the diverse make-up of the workforce. It is relevant to all levels of staff.
Part Two: This is a series of short drama scenes giving an account of how an organisation comes to terms with key diversity issues. It is designed to trigger discussion and reflection and provide an opportunity to explore how diversity issues can be managed in practice. While aimed primarily at managers, it is also relevant to all levels of staff.
Part Three: This role play looks at the importance of attitudes and behaviours in creating an inclusive working environment, followed by a section in which experts give advice about appropriate behaviours in the workplace.
