Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI)

Although you may feel that you treat people equally, sometimes others perceive your actions differently and lead them to feel uncomfortable or discriminated against.

The terms diversity, equity and inclusion are sometimes used interchangeably, but they mean different things.

Our DEI Course will help your employees to understand what steps to take to prevent discrimination and harassment in the workplace.

Common FAQs

How do I safely collect data about Diversity and Inclusion in my Company?

Our Diversity Survey tool is fully anonymous, enabling employees to provide honest feedback without identifying information. Responses are aggregated to protect privacy and securely stored in compliance with GDPR regulations, providing valuable insights on diversity and inclusion.

Can I track incidents related to Diversity and Inclusion?

Our compliance breach register allows you to track incidents like discrimination, harassment, or policy non-compliance. This tool securely documents each case, providing a confidential audit trail for monitoring and accountability.

Are the courses SCORM-compliant?

Yes. This means they can be delivered via the Skillcast Portal or any other SCORM-compliant Learning Management System.

What other tools are needed beyond training?

A comprehensive compliance solution often needs more than just training. Alongside e-learning, tools like declarations, surveys, and registers that track compliance tasks are usually essential. Skillcast provides full support to help you set up these additional tools.

Can users only view the courses assigned to them?

No. All users can view all the courses in your Portal. Additionally, some of these courses may be mandatory, requiring completion by the given deadline.
