Overview

The programme offers a constructive, practical and open-minded way to view and deal with all forms of variety in the workplace.  While encouraging sensitivity in areas of race, gender, age, culture, ability, and sexual orientation, we will move beyond polarities.  Using case studies, we'll consider how a community can become actively inclusive.  We will examine the way our assumptions about difference can cause exclusion, with snow-balling costs for the business.
