Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI)
Although you may feel that you treat people equally, sometimes others perceive your actions differently and lead them to feel uncomfortable or discriminated against.
The terms diversity, equity and inclusion are sometimes used interchangeably, but they mean different things.
Our DEI Course will help your employees to understand what steps to take to prevent discrimination and harassment in the workplace.
