without the in-house training price tag

Our open EDI courses give HR professionals, line managers and people leads access to specialist inclusion skills, without the lead time or cost of commissioning in-house training.

Each session is:

  • three hours long
  • delivered virtually as EDI training online
  • open to individuals from any organisation.

You’ll learn alongside peers from different organisations and sectors. That breadth of perspective challenges your thinking in ways a single-organisation session rarely does.

With over 20 years’ experience delivering EDI training and consultancy to UK employers, Inclusive Employers helps organisations move from good intentions to real, measurable change.





Why EDI training makes a real difference

Supports line managers without specialist knowledge

Managers are often the first point of contact when incidents are reported. Without targeted EDI training, confidence suffers and costly mistakes happen.

Gives clarity to HR professionals

The Worker Protection Act 2023 created a legal duty for employers to take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment. HR teams need clarity with growing legal risk.

Helps make inclusive decisions from the start

When EAI aren’t part of decision-making, organisations create unintended barriers for employees and customers, often at significant cost to correct later.

Puts specialist knowledge where it is needed the most

Inclusion expertise isn’t always spread evenly across a team. Targeted EDI training develops individual capability so the knowledge is available where and when it matters.

Looking to train the whole team?

Refund if you commission in-house: If your organisation books an in-house cohort within three months of attending an open course, you’ll receive a refund on your original booking fee.

  • 91% of participants rate our EDI training as excellent or good
  • 89% report increased knowledge of diversity and inclusion topics
  • 82% say the training inspired them to behave differently at work

Every session is led by specialist EDI practitioners with deep subject knowledge and real-world experience of UK workplaces.

You’ll share the session with professionals from a range of organisations and sectors. That breadth of perspective makes the learning richer.

All learning is grounded in real workplace scenarios, so you leave with tools you can use straight away.
