Training topics for employees and executives

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.

While it may be easy to condemn incidents of violence and harassment at work, it can often be more challenging to ensure that everyone shares a common understanding of the terms, boundaries, and team culture when these issues arise. This training supports participants in developing a shared vocabulary around key concepts, practising how to recognise and respect personal boundaries, and co-creating a communication and intervention framework. This shared approach helps ensure that the desired culture of collaboration is upheld and that it reflects the needs of everyone involved.

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 personal data play in building and advancing an equitable and inclusive culture within any organisation—and how can we ensure that the collection and processing of such data meaningfully support these goals without compromising the rights of employees or other stakeholders? This training, designed primarily for professionals working in HR, data management, and compliance, explores the ethical and practical aspects of collecting, handling, and communicating diversity-related data. Together, we will examine how to approach data responsibly and strategically in order to design and implement sustainable diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives—ensuring transparency, trust, and fairness at every step.

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.

Ensuring a healthy and safe working environment is a core priority for any responsible and forward-thinking employer. However, even in workplaces with the best of intentions, blind spots often remain—particularly when it comes to how employees’ identity characteristics (such as gender, age, ethnicity, or disability) shape their distinct needs and challenges around health and safety. In this interactive workshop, we will explore how workplace design, protective equipment, and measures to prevent and address violence and harassment intersect with identity factors. By adopting an intersectional approach, participants will learn how to enhance the effectiveness of health and safety strategies, making them more inclusive, equitable, and responsive to the diversity of the workforce.
