Employer Equality Training Programme comes to Newry

Equality training for local employers and business owners is coming to Newry this autumn/winter.

“This training is free, high quality and CPD accredited,” explains Paul Oakes of the Equality Commission for Northern Ireland, providers of the training.

“The sessions in Newry will be in the Canal Court Hotel and they are designed to deliver the essentials in a short session.

He continued, “Equality considerations apply to employers of all sizes and it’s important that they know their responsibilities and rights, to safeguard their business and themselves by complying with the law, better protect their staff and better serve their customers. Ultimately the investment in time pays off in good business practice.”

The training on offer in Newry is on the key areas of Equality Training for Line Managers on 19 November 2014, Social Media in the Workplace, 10 December 2014 and Managing Bullying and Harassment at Work, 26 March 2015.

Further sessions on other aspects of equality at work, such as Recruiting Fairly, The Reasonable Steps Defence, Flexible Working: a guide for employers and Managing Disability in the Workplace are available at other venues including Belfast and Craigavon.

The programme of training runs from November 2014 to March 2015.
