Equity, Diversity & Inclusion

Inclusive Language: exploring the use of respectful words for effective workplace diversity and inclusion communication. This Masterclass will act as a guide to respectful language - looking at the purpose of inclusive language, the best words to use for different diversity communities and understanding why they matter; and examining how microaggressions play a part in language for different communities. The session will include group exercises and discussions and Q&A with your trainer Charlotte Butler, who is a workplace inclusion specialist with a focus on empathy-building.

This one-day virtual learning programme will consider D&I in an ever-changing world, and explore the role of communication and engagement professionals in fostering inclusive and innovative workplace cultures. You will learn how to build empathy around diversity and inclusion amongst employees, explore the use of inclusive language to create a culture of respect, and become equipped with practical tools to help you drive the diversity and inclusion agenda in your organisation.

Resilience is a key skill for those working in internal communication at any level. This workshop will explore resilience, how it can support internal communicators in their roles, and how lived experiences can be transferred into working worlds. Resilience is not about being strong, or enabling business leaders to pile on the pressure, but about learning from your experiences and using this knowledge to develop and grow as a professional, and as a person.
