Leading Diversity and Inclusion
We all bring with us diverse perspectives, work experiences, life styles and cultures. As a source and driver of innovation, diversity and inclusion is a “big idea” in business and in society.
The concept of diversity encompasses acceptance and respect. It means understanding that each individual is unique, and recognising our individual differences. It means respect for and appreciation of differences in ethnicity, gender, age, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, education, and religion. Inclusion is a state of being valued, respected and supported. It’s about focusing on the needs of every individual and ensuring the right conditions are in place for each person to achieve his or her full potential. In simple terms, diversity is the mix; inclusion is getting the mix to work well together.
Leading Diversity and Inclusion addresses diversity and its benefits; discrimination in the workplace; the impact of bullying and harassment on victims; and the leader’s role in setting/maintaining standards and dealing with inappropriate behaviour.
The workshop introduces key concepts, tools and techniques to counter the effects of our “biases”, and to improve our ability to interpret and respond appropriately to the culturally defined behaviour of others. Participants will also be presented with practical strategies to help them build inclusive, effective teams in which each person can contribute to the best of their abilities.
Combining short lectures, self-assessment, case studies, role-plays and group discussion, this workshop has been designed for effective learning and knowledge transfer.
By the end of this training, participants will have learned how to:
"The instructor was well versed and knew his topic inside out. He was a pleasure to listen to."

When you want a tailored learning experience targeting exactly what you want without bringing everyone physically together, the best choice is a Live Online Class run by PDT.
We tailor the content and activities to be specific to your current needs and the needs of the people and run the course in our usual activity-based workshop style training, however, the participants can all be offsite, or some can be in the room with others offsite.
Unless you have a preferred tools we use 'Zoom for Education' that includes enhanced collaboration features such as One-click content sharing, real-time co-annotation (people can work together in activity files), and digital whiteboarding, we also include things like live polls and group chats so you virtually have the same collaborative learning experience of attending a course in a room with other people.
We have delivered these 100's (if not 1000's) of times, and get great outcomes. We achieve great outcomes because we keep our learner centric approach - just because it’s delivered through a screen to some or all participants doesn’t mean it needs to be less tailored or less personalised.
You still have an expert trainer who talks to you prior to the session and tailors the delivery to use your terminology, ensure activities are relevant and directly applicable and ensures an engaging learning experience that provide people with skills and techniques they can apply the very next day.
A hybrid class is with some people connecting online, and some people physically together in the same room.
We provide the Training Management Centre which is an information hub before, during and after training.

At the completion of training participants are encouraged to create an action plan, and invite an accountability buddy via their Orgmenta App.
In your Training Management Centre you have transparency to the action plans so you can see what people are going to do differently.
Our systems and people make it easy to identify how you’ll be able to measure impacts,
and then report on the success in the weeks or months after training.
It’s surprisingly easy to make it so that your system can automatically be up to date with all the training record details you need.
