Gender Matters - Creating an inclusive workplace for both men and women
Take the case of the large builders’ merchants who had an excellent delivery driver. The only problem was that she was female, amongst an all male workforce, so had to put up with a lot of behaivour which bordered on harassment. Should they risk losing one of their best workers, just because of her gender?
This course promotes an understanding of the important benefits for employees, customers and stakeholders of encouraging a workforce based on ability, not gender.
Developed in partnership with Melanie Allison of Embankment Associates, and ACAS, this course provides guidance on best practice and emphasises the value of a gender-inclusive workplace.
