A look at how relevant Microlearning can not only help you stay on the right side of the law, it can produce a happier, more innovative and more engaged workforce.
During International Women’s Week, the topic of workplace equality has been in the news and at the forefront of peoples’ minds. Thanks to the Equality Act 2010, it’s more than just advisable, it’s mandatory for organisations to ensure that none of the 9 Protected Characteristics hold anyone back in their career or contribute to discrimination against them at work.
It’s important to look beyond the mandatory requirements around Equality, Diversity and Inclusivity and examine the benefits it can bring. Creating an inclusive and diverse workplace can encourage innovation and help to improve staff retention.
Diverse and inclusive workforces spark ideas more readily and are naturally inclined to innovate and approach problems creatively. Moreover, ensuring that staff feel they are treated fairly and equally, and belong to an inclusive environment, is proven to improve staff engagement and happiness in their work.
