Course Description

Recent high-profile events have highlighted what many in our industry already knew, we lack diversity throughout our organisations, and we need to address this urgently if we are to tackle the skills shortage.

The RICS is leading this cultural change for the surveying profession but cannot do it without surveyors’ full involvement. The initial step is to understand why diversity and inclusion is so important in the workplace, and this course will cover the legal and business case.

We will then progress onto some ideas about how you can make your work environment more inclusive to all. This will cover unconscious bias, inclusive communication, and inclusive recruitment.

The course will provide you with the basics to start making a real difference to the people in your organisation, profession, industry and ultimately the community around you.
