Diversity Training - Managing Cultural Diversity in the Workplace

Credibility has established a reputation as one of the UK ’s leading providers of diversity equal opportunities and related business skills development training and consultancy.

We take the straightforward view that diversity all about what an organisation needs to do to equip itself and its people to deal with inevitable changes that impact significantly on the way they do business or provide a service.

For us, diversity embodies changes that no forward-looking organisation can afford to ignore:

• demographic – changes in who we mean by “population” or “people”
• economic – changes in who wields consumer power
• social – changes in how we live, who we live with and what we expect
• cultural – changes in how we do business, rest and play

Our simple message about diversity is this:

Be ahead of the game or at least alongside, because if you’re behind it you’ll never catch up

We have worked with more than 500 organisations providing a range of diagnosed activities including diversity training programmes.

But training isn’t always the answer. We also help organisations to implement diversity in the workplace. We help people managing cultural diversity.

Here is a snapshot of some of activities we have provided for clients:

• Providing consultancy support to assist organisations who wish to attract applicants from diverse cultural backgrounds
• Undertaking diversity effectiveness audits
• Helping organisations to review, restructure and in some cases rewrite their Equal Opportunity policies and procedures
• Helping organisations to develop diversity implementation plans
• Running race / intercultural communications training events
• Running skills based training events such as recruitment and selection (both competency and non competency based), equal opportunity legislation and employment law, harassment advisers, harassment and bullying investigations and how to undertake equal opportunity audit.
• Training in–house trainers to deliver diversity awareness events
• Developing of dignity at work policies.
• Helping organisations to evaluate the impact of diversity initiatives
• Providing consultancy support to managers who manage across cultures.

A real life case study of this was when a big organisation like ITV realised that to continue to thrive, they needed to address issues of diversity, they came to us. Working in partnership with Credibility, they have been able to not only tackle today’s issues but also to prepare their business for the challenges ahead.
