Preventing Workplace Discrimination Certificate

Preventing Workplace Discrimination Certificate Course

Being a victim of workplace discrimination and harassment is an unfortunate reality for too many workers across the UK. Statistics show that over 50% of women have been the victim of harassment, with similar numbers being reported by many individuals with protected characteristics. High levels of discrimination and harassment can have a detrimental effect on your workforce, including reduced productivity, higher turnover and low public opinion. Learning how you, as an employee, can prevent discrimination and harassment in the workplace can lead to a healthier and more empowering environment.

This course provides you with important information about preventing workplace discrimination and harassment, focusing on the role of the employee. It begins by giving you the legal background behind those terms. Next, it covers the patterns that are evident in workplaces with permissive attitudes towards discrimination and harassment. Specific strategies that employees and employers can implement are discussed next. Finally, the last module outlines what to do, if you witness or are a victim of workplace harassment or discriminatory hiring or promotion practices.

You will Learn:

  • What a ‘protected characteristic’ is;
  • Details about the legislation that covers harassment and discrimination at work;
  • Tips on how to recognise a toxic working atmosphere;
  • How reviewing the hiring and promotion practices of a company can indicate the level of discrimination that you can anticipate encountering;
  • What a zero-tolerance policy is, and why your company should have one;
  • Information on what constitutes a fair complaints process.

Benefits of Taking this Course:

  • Learning more about workplace discrimination and harassment, including the definitions of each term;
  • Understanding how corporate culture and retention rates reflect the likelihood of encountering discrimination or harassment at work;
  • Learning what information should be in employee training programmes, if a workplace is serious about preventing harassment and discrimination;
  • Learning how to develop a complaints process that is fair for everyone involved;
  • Understanding what steps you should take, if you witness or are the victim of harassment or discrimination at work.

For me, as a current employee in Human Resources, this HR Management Course was an excellent opportunity to get more insight of the industry and my job role. The course provided with a lot of relevant information that I could relate to in my job role as well as find ideas that I would be able to adapt in my workplace. I am keen on sharing my knowledge and implementing these new ideas in order to help our company achieve success. Would highly recommend this HRM course to people desiring to join Human Resources as well as the ones already working in the industry as everyone will be able to obtain something that will help them develop as a worker, a person and a future HR Manager!

I had been interested in learning about face painting as I am a makeup artist myself. I decided to do this course as a cheaper alternative to going to a school to learn.

This course takes you through all the tips and techniques of face painting from starting your own business to essentials for your kit and popular face painting designs which are easy to follow. The instructor is very clear and breaks down the face painting into several steps.

Since completing this course I have been face painting for children’s parties and other events earning good money for my services. Thank you for this course it has been fantastic!

Amazing course, very insightful and surprisingly current. I work in the healthcare industry and this course answered a lot of my questions about the pharmaceutical field and the future relationship between the NHS and the Pharmacies.

What an innovative way to learn. Congrats everyone who put this together. I’m now hungry for further studies. The cost is next to nothing and I would definitely recommend the service to anyone. Actually, I plan to inform my colleagues about my success and will forward them here to try this out and see if they’ll be impressed as I am.

This was an absolute joy. Credit to New Skills Academy for offering this.

Having recently started a role in the payroll department I felt I needed to gain knowledge from as many sources as possible.

I found this course to be thorough, easy to understand and the website easy to navigate. It gave me a much greater understanding of payroll systems, the legal obligations of an employer and HMRC guidelines.

I would thoroughly recommend this course to anyone starting out or wanting to progress in a payroll role.

Was really nice to be able to sit through an online course and fly through it.

This is because my learning styles are predominantly read/write and/or kinaesthetic so being in a classroom listening to teachers is often mind numbing and other students tend to hold me back. This course was great for allowing me to work through at my own pace.

It was also great value for money and although I didn't need to request for student support, all confirmation emails came through quickly and efficiently so I am overall pleased with the service.

Good job New Skills Academy, looking forward to learning with you more in the future.

I was a little sceptical about doing an online course as thought it wouldn't be very in depth, but how wrong I was!

Very thorough and covered everything yo could possibly need. I trained many years ago and wanted a refresh and this was perfect and enabled me to get my insurance and feel confident being back in the Beauty Industry.

I'm now about to start another refresh course on waxing and cant wait to get going, I will most certainly be back to do more. If you're unsure whether to do an online course, don't be, its a must. Highly recommended!
