About the session:

This webinar on Cultivating Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging at work will help the attendee to understand what Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (ED&I) mean to the workplace overall, as well as the role that each individual has to play within it.

A barrier for cultivating belonging at work is often in the form of biases, prejudice and discrimination. We will explore how they can occur, how to identify them and most importantly what we can do to reduce them.

We will discuss, assess and identify what the “ideal” workplace looks and feels like. Exploring good (and poor) practices and behaviours that aid cultivation of a diverse and inclusive work culture and workplace.

What we will cover:

• The meaning of Equality, Diversity & Inclusion
• The importance of ED&I in the workplace
• The role and impacts of an organisational Culture, individual behaviours and attitudes
• The Equality Act 2010
• Unconscious bias, prejudice & discrimination –ways to recognise and reduce them
• Your role in ED&I –identifying and challenging obstacles and barriers that are your own or others
• Best practices

Learning Objectives:

1. Understand the meaning and importance of ED&I in the workplace
2. Recognise the importance of diversity in the workplace from personal to organisational to societal benefits and implications
3. Feel confident in identifying positive or poor attitudes and behaviours in relation to ED & I

About the speaker:

The Course will be run by Kerris Earle of Zing 365.

I am a compliance professional with 9 years’ experience in highly regulated environments in a variety of roles. With 5 years’ experience in compliance and governance positions across insurance and fundraising. I chose compliance as my specialism as I enjoy topics that require critical thinking, ethical consideration, interpretation of regulation/legislation, and that offer challenge in an environment subject to change.

My knowledge and experience coupled with my passion and approach to compliance as a collaborative cross-organisational function, moving away from compliance as a “tick box exercise”, has helped shape and support organisations to succeed whilst still offering protection from financial and reputational damage.

Training, learning and development and offering guidance on complicated topics in simple understandable terms has always been my favourite part of my previous roles, and I am passionate about sharing my knowledge, experience, and expertise to allow others to develop and grow.
