Diversity in the workplace refers to a workforce that varies in the people who make it up, the attributes they have, and employees who differ in things like race, gender, ethnicity, and age.

This online lesson film is about racial equality in the workplace, with a particular focus on Black individuals due to the Black Lives Matter Movement, which was brought back into the spotlight in 2020.  Some of the themes explored around racial equality are:

  • What diversity means and its importance in the workplace
  • Promoting positive behaviours that we all can adopt to create a more inclusive society  
  • Encouraging reflection of steps to take when applying or progressing within a role
  • Giving practical tips on how to become a diversity champion 

You may want to grab a pen and paper before you start to jot down your ideas during the reflection points in the film.
