Course overview
Tackling gender inequality remains one of the most persistent challenges facing organisations in the 21st century. Gender equality is vital for a mature, fair and effective workplace yet is often misunderstood and not properly prioritised.
If gender equality is to be truly championed within an organisation everyone – from the most senior leaders to entry-level staff – needs to understand the challenges, the barriers, the impact of their own behaviours and attitudes and – most importantly of all – what they can do.
This course will examine what everyone can do to understand and promote workplace gender equality.
What you'll learn
You will learn about the background to gender equality and why this is such an important and challenging issue in modern workplaces, including the different nuances of gender, the importance of history and context and the impact of the Law.
You will learn how to recognise and tackle unconscious biases (in yourself and in others) which can impact on gender equality and how to develop and use language appropriately.
You will gain confidence in identifying and tackling key gender equality issues in the workplace, including becoming a champion of gender equality and knowing how to challenge inequalities and support colleagues.
You will also gain awareness of how to support and champion the needs of all genders, including those who are transgender and non-binary.
