Diversity and Discrimination AU

A diverse and inclusive workplace is good for business. It can help you to enhance productivity, reduce turnover and save money. It also minimises the risk of discrimination occurring.

This course will show you how to make your business a place where differences such as age, gender and race are genuinely valued. It outlines your legal obligations to prevent discrimination and provides advice on how to appropriately handle complaints if they do arise.

A diverse workforce is one which employs all kinds of people. All businesses can be diverse, regardless of the industry they’re in or the type of work they do.

Workplace diversity refers to the variety of differences between your employees. 

• Recognising the differences between your employees in age, gender, ethnicity, language, education, religion, nationality, cultural identity, family status, sexual orientation and disability
• Understanding the varied perspectives, approaches and talents that these differences bring to your workplace.
