Legislative training
from dancing lion training & consultancy
Do your staff comply with the latest legislation in their working practice?
If your staff keep customer records its vital that they understand and implement DPA and FIA legislation. Our informative training sessions will keep them up to date.
Demonstrating that your organisation is treating customers fairly is a legal requirement. A training session with us will increase their awareness and know-how.
Does your organisation value diversity and bring out the best from your people? Reduce stress and increase employee well being now by creating the conditions for success.
Equality and diversity training
The more diverse your workforce the greater the likelihood of your company having people with the skills and knowledge to achieve business success.
A diverse workforce can bring alternative perceptions, broader thinking and enable increased commercial results through offering a more varied approach.
This one-day course will enable delegates to understand and appreciate important individual differences and create value from the diversity of your organisation’s workforce. This is very different from simply paying lip service to political correctness or ticking the right boxes. It is about laying the cornerstones to build synergistic relationships and creating a harmonious culture.
Delegates will have the opportunity to examine and discuss values, attitudes, perceptions and behaviour. They will be able to identify strategies for dealing with relevant workplace scenarios and create action plans, which will encourage cooperation between staff to utilise diverse experiences.
To help you decide if this programme is likely to be of value, answer ‘yes’ to two or more of these questions below on behalf of your company:
- does your workplace recognize and value difference?
- do you want to increase understanding in how to create value from the diversity of your staff and colleagues?
- do you want to build better working relationships?
- would you like to create a harmonious culture and attitude in your workplace?
- would you like to increase the organisation’s business success?
Who should attend
All front-line staff involved with interacting with customers and the general public. Anyone who handles information about members of the general public. Managers seeking to ensure key principles and methods are applied.
