Inclusive Workplace Training

As a country, Australia’s workforce is made up of people from all walks of life. Whether you’re talking about people who have migrated to Australia from other countries, Indigenous peoples, varying gender identities and sexual orientations, people with disabilities, neurodivergent individuals, or people with differing religious beliefs, diversity is core to what makes Australia the country it is.

Despite the intrinsic reality of diversity, inclusivity in the workplace has often been historically overlooked or downplayed. However, in more recent decades, discussions around proper inclusion have become essential to addressing issues of discrimination, sexism, racism, and general bullying in professional settings.

With a more diverse Australian workforce than ever before, employees (especially those who are part of minority or underrepresented communities) want to know they’re respected and psychologically safe in their job. And, ultimately, this comes down to basic human rights: being able to live with respect and dignity.

Implementing inclusivity training and practices into your business not only equips you with strategies to foster an inclusive work environment, but it will help all employees gain a greater awareness of the value of inclusion and how to identify their own biases. And when employees come together to recognise the strength of their diversity, it lays the groundwork for a more collaborative and respectful workplace for the future.

Our training comprises three fundamental courses. The first two courses are designed with all employees in mind, while the third and final course is designed for those in leadership positions within your organisation.

Course 1, Workplace Inclusion Fundamentals, covers the basics of workplace inclusion and how to implement it into your workplace starting with your first actionable step. It’s designed for organisations that are beginning their inclusion journey, but also as a refresher course for any company that hasn’t worked D&I into their everyday operations.

Course 2, Bias and Belonging, builds on the foundations of the first course and more deeply explores how bias occurs and impacts everyday decisions and behaviours. This is complemented by exploring a number of practical steps that can be taken towards understanding bias, reducing it where necessary, and creating a more balanced, fair workplace for all.

Course 3, Inclusive Leadership and Workplace Culture, covers how inclusion starts from the top and, through intentional leadership decisions, facilitates a culture of psychological safety and belonging. This final course is recommended for all leadership and management.

All three courses run for 1.5 hours and are recommended for groups of up to 20 people. However, larger groups can be catered to - just get in touch with us to discuss.

In addition to our main three inclusivity training courses, we also provide digital learning refreshers. These are short, practical online courses designed to complement the three core courses, and are best suited to training tied to:

• Onboarding new employees;
• General refreshers for all staff/leadership;
• Large, distributed/multi-location and shift-based workforces; and
• Pre- or post-workshop reinforcement

Everyone can benefit from workplace inclusion training, so we’d recommend getting as many from your organisation involved as possible. However, as effective inclusion tends to start from the top, all leadership and management are strongly encouraged to attend every course, including any refreshers.

We’re able to deliver inclusive workplace training in whichever format best suits your business and members of staff. While we recommend our face-to-face training format, we can also deliver the courses entirely online in case your company has a significant remote workforce.

If you want a strong organisational culture, diversity and inclusion are non-negotiable. Having a diverse employee base brings with it a broader range of views and insights into how to improve and grow your business.

The only way to achieve a diverse workforce is through active improvements to inclusivity and facilitating a space where everyone feels welcomed and psychologically safe. By embracing greater inclusivity through training, you’ll be able to grow and strengthen your overall organisational culture.

Yes. While we have three key courses and complementary digital learning courses with established topics, all of these can be adapted to reflect the context of your industry and team. 

The Fair Co. does this not just by focusing on theory, but by discussing real workplace scenarios and adapting these scenarios to best reflect the dynamics of your organisation. To learn more, simply get in touch with us.
