Gender Equality
|
Research has shown that both women and men can be unfairly discriminated against in the workplace because their colleagues and managers views are influenced, in may cases unconsciously, by stereotypes. Promoting gender equality in organisations is becoming ever more important, especially now that the Government is bringing in a duty on public bodies to promote Gender Equality. This became law under the Equalities Act in April 2007. |

Our
approach to gender sensitivity aims to increase awareness and understanding of
perceptions about gender: how they originate, how they can be reinforced and how
they limit our view of ourselves and others. This approach challenges
prejudicial, unhelpful and well established work patterns, whilst at the same
time remaining fully supportive of individuals. We create a safe and enjoyable
place in which to explore and explode stereotypical dynamics. This
approach can take the form of consulting and as a workshop. Our training is
designed to: ·
Challenge
assumptions around sexist behaviour in men and women ·
Raise
self-awareness and self-regulation for greater clarity and rigour in
communication ·
Liberate the
individual and the team from gender constraints ·
Generate a more
fruitful language between and amongst men and women ·
Develop gender
sensitive strategic and personal action plans ·
Put diversity
and equal opportunities into practice |
|
The
business benefits of our approach include: ·
A safer and
more productive language and behaviour amongst diverse staff and customers ·
Greater
motivation from a wider range of people through a celebration of diverse
identities ·
Attracting and
keeping a greater range of talent to your workplace ·
Developing
allies in the people who might normally exclude themselves from diversity issues
· Learning how to walk as well as talk your values · An environment in which gender is not a barrier to individuals fulfilling their potential in the organisation · You will be provided with our comprehensive Gender Equality Good Practice Guide |
