This fully-facilitated half day course explores gender balance and equity as cornerstones of

Pre-workshop online course: Attracting and Retaining Greater Diversity
Leading organisations understand that healthy, diverse cultures go beyond fairness and positive reputation. Diversity – done well – quite simply drives competitive advantage.
Despite a growing understanding about the benefits of diversity, strategies can lack meaning and focus, leading to token gestures that undermine efforts.
This course provides an introduction to a nuanced understanding of diversity through investigating the subtle factors at play. It examines:
1. The evidence: diversity, inclusion and high performance
2. Barriers: where diversity and inclusion fall short
3. How to identify simple actions and ripple effects for attracting and retaining greater diversity.
The topics covered are evidence-based, drawing from best practice, personal insights, research and interviews to identify key elements of successful diversity strategies.
This course is designed to bridge the gap between theory and practice, helping participants to create environments where people from all backgrounds can thrive and contribute to optimal team performance.
Enrolling for the Optimising Performance through Diversity workshop gains automatic access to the online course content.
