This Equality and Diversity Awareness online training course is about UK laws on equality in the workplace.

What is equality?
Equality is about ensuring that every person has the same opportunity to make the most of their lives and talents.
In society, and at work, we must treat everyone as an individual regardless of their background or lifestyle. When you embrace equality, your organisation benefits from diversity in the workforce.
UK laws ensure that people are not discriminated against. In addition, promoting equality in the workplace adds value to an organisation and contributes to wellbeing and productivity.
What are the benefits of Equality and Diversity?
When everyone is given equal opportunities, people can achieve their full potential. Equality makes the best use of the talents of all workers. This is especially true among those groups that are often disadvantaged.
Employees of all ages, genders, races and cultural backgrounds benefit the workforce with their vast array of skills and ideas. Different people bring different perspectives, ideas and abilities to the table. Consequently, this variety will improve productivity and help your business to grow.
If it is clear that everyone in your business is treated equally, then employees are more likely to be happy in their role.
