In response to the Equality Act 2010, Globis has devised a range of briefing sessions on Equality and Diversity. These time and cost effective sessions have been developed to cover the pressing issues of the Equality Act and give employer and employees the facts. The new Act is wide reaching and is set to revolutionise the arena of equality and diversity. With this being such a hot topic, organisations need to prepare. To ensure that your organisation is ready, the Globis briefing sessions cover the pressing issues that you need to know.

The sessions can be tailored to meet the specific needs of your organisation. Globis can deliver onsite around the UK in 'bite size' blocks - typically 1-2 hour sessions. The interactive sessions will be delivered using a range of methods to fully engage the audience. Topics that will be covered in the sessions can include:
