Fair's fair - Equal opportunities for all
 
This programme shows employees how all types of discrimination can and should be avoided in the workplace.

About the programme
This video demonstrates some of the common discrimination problems using dramatised case studies. It shows that it may be wrong to treat everybody as if they are the same, because people are individuals. And it may be equally as wrong to treat them as different, either because of stereotypes or by judging one aspect of their persona such as age and race.

Femi Otitoju, a leading authority on equal opportunities, takes us through five clear examples.

bullet

What can we do for him? Dealing with physical disability and how easy it is to make assumptions about others

bullet

Ron’s girls. How inappropriate language about someone else’s gender or sexuality can be offensive and cruel, even if we don’t realise it

bullet

Present company accepted… About racial discrimination and the importance of non-verbal communication as well as what people say

bullet

Can’t they take a joke? Covers the issue of age and how jokes at the expense of individuals or groups can offend

bullet

Jobs for the boys. Brings all the issues together, when two women second-guess their organisation’s recruitment strategy with nothing to go on but stereotypical assumptions

The benefits

bullet

Case studies with/without commentary, and flexible written materials

bullet

Sensitive treatment of a problem issue for all staff members

bullet

Wide-ranging problems treated in a sensible, practical way

Programme includes:

A world of difference - Working successfully across cultures

This programme shows how to overcome challenges and maximise productivity when managing a multicultural team.

About the programme
Working internationally is difficult and demands special skills to ensure success. However, highly effective managers and professionals often under perform when working with people from different cultural backgrounds, who do not share the same values and working practices. This challenge is yet more complex in multicultural teams where managers are required to build relationships and achieve business success across a number of different realities, values and perspectives.

A world of difference is for organisations whose business depends on high-quality international relationships, and who need support in making international teamwork effective. The programme focuses on a video dramatisation of an international team, brought together to launch a new product. It illustrates the complex challenges that individuals and teams face in working internationally.
It covers:
 

bullet

How conflicting assumptions about communication style, feedback, task and relationship handling – if unmanaged – can lead to poor results

bullet

The essential international skills needed to work successfully and manage effective teamwork across cultures

bullet

Issues of building trust, teamwork, people management and remote communication in a multicultural context.

The benefits
 

bullet

Clearly illustrates how business counterparts from other cultures can have differing approaches and attitudes to basic business variables

bullet

Provides a clear framework for experienced and inexperienced international professionals to understand the challenges and complexities of working in a world of difference

bullet

Helps to develop the practical skills and attitudes required to work with differences, rather than against them, in the pursuit of an organisation’s international goals

 

Programme includes: Video (35 mins), self study workbook, Course leaders guide.

Price: £1199.00, Rental £299.00 (prices exclude delivery & VAT).

Managing Diversity

The workplace is changing, reflecting the increasing diversity of our communities. With these changes come new challenges.

This award-winning video takes a hard look at one of the most important issues of our day. As more and more women and minorities enter the workplace, managing diversity is more than just "a sensitive issue." It requires a leap to new levels of awareness.

The task is not merely to deal with a diverse workforce, but to capitalize on diversity.

Managing Diversity reveals a range of human perspectives on such issues as power, authority, communication and performance.

This enlightening film helps manager better understand the cause and effect of varying viewpoints. It inspires open-mindedness and a willingness to learn from those with diverse backgrounds. It offers strategies for clearer two-way communications, more productive relationships and stronger teamwork. And it provides guidance for bringing the values of the organizational culture into focus, and into action.

Managing Diversity dramatizes problems and solutions in several scenarios involving differences in gender, race and ethnicity. It presents practical solutions as the cast models the attitudes and techniques for promoting increased understanding, expanded participation, effective teamwork and the fullest expression of individual potential.

bullet

Understand that personal values and behaviours are strongly influenced by differences in gender, race and ethnicity

Develop enlightened self-awareness by rejecting arbitrary assumptions about people who have different backgrounds

THE DIFFERENCE: Diversity at work

DVD 1: What the Photocopier saw

48 minutes of powerful and entertaining drama scenes showing the costs and benefits of managing a diverse team badly or well. The action revolves around the office photocopier, a silent witness to countless everyday incidents revealing how the business suffers when team members fail to treat each other with respect. This is a subtle training video and there is little spoon feeding - because Diversity is a subtle and complex subject. Users who want clear guidance about training points will find it in the accompanying Training Manual. This is also a more versatile training video than most - the scenes could contribute to training in a number of other areas, including communication skills, team working and supervisory skills.

DVD 2: Real people: different people

Six people talk about the prejudices and stereotypes they encounter at work because of their personal characteristics: their age, gender, race, sexuality, disability or parental responsibilities. Each has their own way of dealing with other people’s attitudes towards them. For some, prejudice causes extra pressure to achieve. Some are less able to work effectively because of the attitudes they meet. In this 24 minute programme, we also hear about the positive benefits each of the six brings to work by being ‘different’.

The programme comes with a comprehensive Training Manual, in print or on CD-ROM, structured to support use by trainers or individual learners. Includes a detailed supplement about the legal framework for diversity and equal opportunities.

Price:  £795.00, Rental £150.00 (prices exclude delivery & VAT).

Diversity Challenge  Maximising the potential of our diverse workforce

The UK workforce is more diverse that it has ever been. There are more women, ethnic minorities and disabled people in the workforce than ever before, moreover the workforce is getting older. It is estimated that by 2011 white non-disabled men will only make up a fifth of the labour market.

For organisations to continue to be successful, they must recruit, retain and promote talented people without prejudice. Equally, it is critical that the existing workforce welcomes these people and provides a secure, inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and their talents fully utilised.

This diversity training DVD enables trainers and managers to understand the changes at both individual and organisational level that need to be made to achieve an inclusive workplace and workforce.

The Diversity Challenge comes in three parts:

Part One: Provides an overview of the changing nature of the working environment in terms of the diverse make-up of the workforce. It is relevant to all levels of staff.

Part Two: This is a series of short drama scenes giving an account of how an organisation comes to terms with key diversity issues. It is designed to trigger discussion and reflection and provide an opportunity to explore how diversity issues can be managed in practice. While aimed primarily at managers, it is also relevant to all levels of staff.

Part Three: This role play looks at the importance of attitudes and behaviours in creating an inclusive working environment, followed by a section in which experts give advice about appropriate behaviours in the workplace.

Religion and Belief Respecting and accommodating faith and belief in the workplace

The UK has a greater religious diversity than any other country in the European Union. This presents organisations with the challenge of enabling people of different beliefs to work together in harmony. The diversity of religion and belief in the UK is represented across the pubic, private and voluntary sectors and in all professions and occupations.

Along with this diversity, there is significant discrimination on the grounds of religion and belief. With the introduction of the Employment Equality (Religion or Belief) Regulations 2003 this discrimination is now against the law. This means that people can no longer be harassed or victimised, refused employment or disadvantaged (except in very limited circumstances) because of their religion or belief.

Religion and Belief comes in three parts:

Introduction: This provides an overview of religion and belief at work, including legal aspects.

Part One: This documentary section enables viewers to gain an awareness of the most widely practised religions in the UK. It features a number of individuals who explain why their religious and non-religious beliefs are so important to them.

Part Two: This looks at the types of adjustments that can be made to accommodate different faith groups at work including: prayer facilities, time off for religious observance, physical contact, dress codes.

Key Learning Points

bullet

Understand employers’ and employees’ obligations under the Employment Equality (Religion or Belief) Regulations 2003

bullet

Gain essential insights into the four main religions and beliefs in the UK

bullet

Consider adjustments that can be made to accommodate different faith groups at work

bullet

Explore their own attitude to faith, and consider the impact when people try to impose their own religious beliefs on others

bullet

Recognise that certain behaviours and practices might be unlawful and are also damaging to the morale and productivity of the workplace, and can potentially lead to legal action

Contents: 1 DVD (35 minutes approx), Trainer’s Notes/Self Study Guide

More than one in twenty people in the current UK workforce are lesbian, gay or bisexual (LBG).

  • You can't always tell someone's sexual orientation, so don't make assumptions
  • The legal and moral responsibilities of all levels of staff
  • Why certain behaviours are inappropriate
