The facilitators seek to create a safe space for practitioners from a very wide range of disciplines to understand better the challenges of diversity as seen by employers and then to build on that understanding in the conduct of their daily professional life, in a very practical and accessible way.
Learning outcomes can deliver from among the following benefits, depending on the nature of the delegate group and the learning objectives for each session:
- enhanced awareness of diversity issues in UK employment
- understanding of the evolution of practices in ‘diversity’ and the UK employer journey
- business case issues informed by latest global research
- information to build knowledge of stakeholder interests and open potential access routes through stakeholders to employers
- transferable tactics and tools to help improve performance and translate opportunities into hard results
- raised awareness and an understanding of the practitioners own stereotypes and how it can affect their relationship with the candidates and employers they work with.
- practical tools to enable the practitioner to evaluate their relationships with the employers they currently work with.
- an understanding of effective ways of marketing their services to employers, with good practice case studies highlighting the recruitment of a diverse workforce within the business community.
