Training topics for employees and executives

Creating an equitable and inclusive environment that respects diversity is a key goal for an increasing number of businesses and organisations. However, direct and indirect discrimination often act as barriers that prevent us from achieving this objective.

In this interactive training, participants will become familiar with the concepts of direct and indirect discrimination, learn to identify real-life examples, explore the legal framework surrounding discrimination, and discover practical tools to help prevent and address discriminatory practices. Additionally, they will gain insights into how to support individuals who experience discrimination, fostering a fairer and more inclusive workplace.

The words, images, and channels used in internal communication play a crucial role in fostering engagement, commitment, and a sense of belonging among employees and teams. At the same time, an advertisement or message can unintentionally come across as sexist, racist, or otherwise alienating to certain audiences due to their diversity. So, what does inclusive communication truly mean? In this workshop, we will explore methods and tools that enable us to use language and messaging—both within and outside the organisation—as a means of fostering an equitable, inclusive culture and shaping a more responsible corporate identity.

Accessible digital communication is essential for effective interaction across all teams and individuals. Through this training, employees and managers are equipped with the knowledge to create content that can be used by everyone, regardless of any sensory or other impairment. The use of appropriate tools and the adoption of strategies that address different types of disability—including permanent impairments, temporary conditions, or age-related limitations—are key to building a more inclusive workplace. This program covers fundamental principles such as adding subtitles to videos, structuring emails and documents to be compatible with screen readers, and applying accessibility standards to tools and presentations. Through practical guidance and real-world examples, participants gain the tools they need to ensure that digital information is accessible, understandable, and usable for all colleagues.

This training is aimed at professionals working in HR, ESG and Corporate Communication departments, who wish to deepen their understanding of equity, diversity, and inclusion in the workplace. Participants will gain the knowledge and skills needed to assess their organisation’s current strengths and areas for improvement in relation to DEI, design meaningful and actionable equity plans, and monitor or evaluate their implementation. The focus is on building a more inclusive and responsible working environment—one that enhances employee engagement and productivity, while also strengthening the organisation’s employer brand and social impact.

What role do businesses and organisations play in shaping a fairer, more prosperous society around them? How can companies engage meaningfully with the ecosystems they’re part of and contribute to positive change that aligns with their values and strategic priorities? In this interactive workshop, we’ll explore how teams working in Communications, ESG, and Corporate Social Responsibility can build strong, lasting relationships with the communities they engage with. Together, we’ll examine how this external engagement can reinforce both organisational and collective efforts towards greater equity and inclusion—extending impact beyond the workplace walls.

As we recognise the importance of diversity, equity and inclusion within our organisations, we must also prioritise cultivating a culture of equity and inclusion in the way we serve our customers. Respecting the diversity of the people who make up our customer base—in terms of gender, age, culture, disability, and more—should be a strategic priority for any responsible and forward-looking organisation. This commitment is not only essential to strengthening corporate responsibility and reputation, but also to achieving broader business objectives. In this program, we will explore practical ways to ensure that every customer experience is safe, respectful, and inclusive—at every stage of the journey.

Volunteering is a powerful vehicle for promoting inclusion—fostering solidarity, generosity, a sense of purpose, and the freedom of choice. Voluntary participation strengthens team cohesion, supports the development of personal skills, and contributes to building a more inclusive workplace culture. This program is aimed at HR and CSR professionals and focuses on how volunteering can enhance internal relationships and create a positive, collaborative work environment. We will explore how volunteer initiatives can be meaningfully integrated into the company framework to strengthen empathy, teamwork, and social responsibility. The training offers practical tools and insights for designing and implementing volunteer programmes that boost both social impact and employee engagement.

This experiential workshop invites participants to actively engage with key issues and challenges related to gender identity, aiming to broaden and enrich their understanding of gender and equality across the full spectrum of gender identities and expressions. Together, we explore themes of gender, sexuality, and stereotypes, examine inclusive and respectful terminology, and address the realities of homophobia, transphobia, and gender-based violence experienced by LGBTQIA+ individuals—through a psychosocial and gender-aware lens. The session also introduces strategies for recognising and responding to discriminatory or abusive language and behaviour, including homophobic and transphobic bullying or harassment. Ultimately, the workshop supports participants in identifying and challenging gender-based biases and stereotypes, and encourages them to apply this learning within their personal, professional, and social environments to foster greater inclusion and respect for all identities.

How can we begin to dismantle microaggressions toward LGBTQIA+ individuals? Creating a truly inclusive and welcoming workplace means addressing not only overt discrimination but also the subtle, often unconscious biases that show up in our everyday language, behaviours, and assumptions. In this workshop, we will explore how microaggressions manifest in communication—particularly within the Greek language—and examine the ways in which unconscious bias can affect our interactions with LGBTQIA+ colleagues and clients. Participants will gain practical tools and inclusive communication strategies to foster more respectful, supportive, and equitable environments for all.

This interactive seminar is designed for HR professionals as well as all employees within an organisation, offering guidance on how to create a respectful, inclusive, and supportive working environment for trans individuals and those of marginalised genders. The session includes a comprehensive psychoeducational introduction, combined with an open Q&A format that encourages active participation. The aim is to build understanding, dispel harmful stereotypes, and provide practical knowledge that helps eliminate discriminatory behaviours or assumptions. Participants will leave with greater awareness and confidence to contribute to a workplace culture where all gender identities are acknowledged, respected, and included.

How can we ensure that our digital communication—both internal and external (such as email marketing, social media campaigns, and public messaging)—is truly accessible to disabled individuals? This session is designed to support Marketing, Communications, PR teams and beyond in shaping a culture of inclusion through both practical tools and, most importantly, a mindset of care and intentionality. We will explore strategies and accessibility best practices that make promotional campaigns and everyday communications more inclusive, ensuring that all audiences can engage equally with the messages we share.

This training offers a clear and accessible introduction to key concepts surrounding gender equality in today’s world. Using everyday language and relatable examples, we unpack terms such as sexism, gender stereotypes, direct and indirect discrimination, the glass ceiling, occupational gender segregation, sexual harassment, and the gender pay gap. We explore not only what these issues look like in practice but also their root causes and real-world impacts—helping participants identify areas for change that often go unnoticed. In a safe, inclusive, and non-judgemental space, participants will build a practical toolkit to better understand and address these topics, both in daily conversations and within the dynamics of the modern workplace. The goal is to foster greater awareness, empathy, and readiness to challenge gender inequality wherever it appears—supporting a more inclusive and respectful working culture for all.

What role can—and must—men play in the effort to achieve greater gender equality in the workplace and public life? How can we work together to dismantle harmful stereotypes and practices that ultimately affect us all? In this experiential seminar, participants will explore beliefs, opportunities, and challenges they may encounter on their personal journey toward more inclusive mindsets and behaviours. Through reflection, dialogue, and practical exercises, men are invited to better understand their influence and responsibility in promoting gender equity—and to develop a personalised action plan for supporting meaningful, lasting change in their teams, organisations, and communities. This session empowers men to become active allies and co-creators of a more just, respectful, and inclusive society.
