Diversity training – and so much more

Even when business is busy it’s important to remember the bigger picture.

We had a lesson in that last week when the team took time out of the office to engage in some diversity training.

This is a key area for recruiters. We have to be on top of the latest legislation, understand the theory and not only be able to put it into practice but to demonstrate to our clients it’s importance and it’s practical interpretation.

The latest diversity session with People HR proved very worthwhile. And, by involving every member of the team in one of the two sessions, everyone heard the same message.
This kind of training helps us all brush up on our knowledge levels and be confident we are adding genuine value to the recruitment process for our clients.

The other advantage is that training sessions offer a good opportunity for a spot of team bonding. Having everyone sitting in a room, listening and learning together creates a great sense of ‘team’ and is an excellent motivator. Everyone came out fired up and buzzing with ideas and energy.

A morning well spent!
