Realising the benefits of an age diverse workforce
When people at work are under-valued, marginalised or bullied simply because they are seen as too old or too young, everyone suffers. Once your employees and managers begin to understand the value of age diversity at work however, they will look beyond narrow-minded assumptions and misconceptions. Result; the organisation reaps the business rewards of a richer, more creative and responsive workforce.
70% of employers are actively recruiting people between 55 and the pension age
An age-balanced workforce will give your organisation a combination of fresh thinking, new ideas, stability and experience. Our live workshops, e-learning package and DVD have been formulated in conjunction with the Employers Forum on Age.
Your managers and staff will learn to: · appreciate what people of different ages can offer · create an environment that respects and values people of all ages · recognise what constitutes ageist harassment · comply with the Employment Equality (Age) Regulations
Gender Matters (Click on title to download pdf info)
Creating an inclusive workplace for both women and men
Gender equality law has been in place for 30 years, girls have overtaken boys in the classroom, and one in four women is set to be a major breadwinner by 2030. But the boardroom and many occupations are still male dominated, while women earn on average less than men. In other situations men are out-numbered and disadvantaged. This imbalance will only be redressed when we have made everyone aware of the benefits of a truly gender-equal workforce.
Provide opportunities for all team members to fulfill their potential
Skill Boosters, together with gender and equality experts Melanie Allison and ACAS, can provide the training to help your organisation benefit from the contribution of every employee. Once people’s eyes are opened to the equally valuable qualities men and women bring to the workplace, discrimination and harassment to both can be challenged
Your managers and staff will learn to:
· understand their legal and professional obligations · embrace gender balance at work · develop new insights and work successfully as part of a diverse team

How to write effective correspondence and other documents
How happy are you with the communication skills of your employees? E-mails, letters, reports and proposals that are hard to understand and contain simple errors send a careless, unprofessional image of your organisation. Created in association with Ellerton Training Services and the Plain Language Commission, Skill Boosters’ interactive e-learning resource and tailored live workshops will show your people through practice how to produce clear, persuasive writing.
The most effective documents are those that are easy to understand
From keying short emails to creating detailed proposals, it is vital that your staff get across their key message and are seen to be professional representatives of your organisation. Our training solutions allow learners to focus on the types of documents they need to write and the information they routinely deal with.
Your managers and staff will learn to: · focus on the reader and the key message · use simple, direct phrasing · adopt the appropriate style and tone · use correct grammar, spelling and punctuation
