With the growing momentum and greater accountability of diversity and inclusion, organisations can’t ignore the need to invest in a comprehensive, long-term approach to building an empowering environment for their employees.
We’ve developed a number of practical resources to help you, so you can be part of the difference.
Bullying and harassment in the workplace training
In our virtual training session, employment law experts Charlotte Rees-John and Tiffany Heppell explore the impacts of bullying and harassment in the workplace. Together they discuss the distinctions between bullying and harassment, their legal definitions and the different types of harassment. They also dissect several working examples of what could constitute such unwanted behaviour, including micro-aggressions and banter. You can watch the trailer below.
Our diversity and inclusion training, designed for managers and employees, makes sure your staff understand the importance of diversity and inclusion in the workplace and the vital role they play in helping your business to achieve this. We offer two practical and interactive e-learning modules – both modules include a quiz and employers can track completion.
By the end of this training, you'll be able to understand and identify the many different forms of bullying and harassment, as well as their many negative impacts on individuals and institutions. You'll also know how to minimise the risk of inadvertently saying or doing something which could constitute bullying or harassment. The session will also give you the tools and options available if you witness bullying or harassment by others.

Below are two working examples discussed in the training.
We’ll undertake an in-depth assessment of your organisation to pinpoint where you are on your diversity and inclusion journey. From reviewing your current policies and procedures to looking at the outcomes of employee surveys and spending time in your business, we’ll create a report detailing where you are, alongside achievable and practical recommendations for getting the best out of your diverse workforce.
As an employer, it’s important to know what rights your employees have. Do transgender people have different rights? How can you help someone who’s transitioning? How do you deal with conflicts? Our free guide explores the terms you need to understand, the legal framework, how you can support your staff, and more.
Our menopause training module looks at the menopause as a workplace issue and why it matters legally. We’ll cover the impact it has on women, so you understand how to sensitively manage and support an employee who’s experiencing the menopause.
Our employer’s guide to the menopause will help you understand what you can do to make your business menopause friendly. We’ve also included a template menopause policy which you can easily edit to use in your organisation.
If you’re struggling at work because of the menopause or perimenopause, you may be worried about how your employer will react. In this guide, our employment solicitors will explain your legal position, as well as practical things you can do to help your situation.
Host Joanne Moseley is joined by our Head of Consumer Goods and Services Charlotte Rees-John, and Head of HR at PPG Industries, Steph Evans-Hill. They discuss the benefits of having a diverse and inclusive workforce, how flexibility can be accommodated, the importance of building a reputable brand to attract and retain valuable talent, and more.
Many employers are keen to be supportive of their trans employees but are unsure how best to do so. From trans-specific training to trans-inclusive policies and dress codes to the Equality Act 2010, we discuss the practical steps employers can take.
