Our introductory training session is designed for people at all
organisational levels with beginner to intermediate understanding of
workplace diversity and inclusion.
We will address the concept of privilege, the ways in which sexism,
racism, homophobia/biphobia/transphobia and ableism interact to
produce complex oppressions and marginalisations and how structural
interventions by organisations can reduce these impacts and create a
welcoming and inclusive workplace. Participants will work in small
groups to identify strategies that apply to their own organisations
and come away with practical ideas to implement change.We will ask the
following questions:
* What is the relationship between equality, equity and justice and
how can understanding this change our organisation's approach to the
people we work with?
* How can we remove barriers in our organisation to truly include
marginalised voices?
* What might it mean for an organisation that operates in one area
of marginalisation to be an ally to others? How can it ensure it is
not participating in marginalising others?
* Is our organisation 'walking the talk'?
There's a difference between removing discrimination and actively
aiming for inclusion. As a bonus, research shows that organisations
that are truly diverse and inclusive have improved staff morale and
staff retention.
