BUSINESS BENEFITS OF DIVERSITY

The workshop is interactive and aims to raise awareness of the business benefits of Diversity. For smaller employers, your people are your most expensive and valuable asset. Today’s business environment is changing. The average age of the workforce is rising steadily and women now make up near half the workforce in the UK, double the numbers 25 years ago. The working age population will increase by a million in the next 10 years and ethnic minorities will count for more than half that increase.

Business Benefits of Diversity is organised and delivered by Caroline Newman who has over 15 years experience in hands-on management and self development. Caroline has been a lawyer for several years. Recently she specialised in advice to businesses and employment law.

In addition, Caroline:

• was a Member of the Council of the Law Society for 4 years and has been chair of its Equality and Diversity Committee for over 4 years
• chaired Minority Lawyers Conferences
• is a member of the Black Solicitors Network
• is a member of the Committee which planned and introduced the new competencies for the Selection of QCs.

Caroline therefore has a unique insight into how diversity affects lawyers.

After this course participants will be able to:

• appreciate the difference between equal opportunities and diversity
• appreciate the business benefits of a diverse working environment
• understand the effect and impact of the anti-discrimination rule on a law practice
• retain and attract workers
• stay on the right side on discrimination law
