Mowlam Healthcare is taking proactive steps towards building an inclusive and diverse workplace environment with the launch of their new Diversity and Cultural Awareness Training workshops through the Mowlam Academy.
Recognising the growing population and workforce, Mowlam Healthcare acknowledges the importance of embracing diversity, inclusion, and cultural sensitivity in their interactions with both employees and residents under their care. The workshops aim to equip employees with the necessary tools and knowledge to navigate and celebrate the rich tapestry of backgrounds, beliefs, and traditions present within their communities.
The comprehensive online workshop, designed for all employees, delves into various aspects of diversity and culture. Participants engage in discussions on defining diversity and culture, exploring the impact of religious beliefs and traditions, and understanding discrimination and its effects. Additionally, the training addresses topics such as bias, unconscious bias, and the significance of creating an inclusive work environment where every individual feels valued and respected.
The interactive sessions include roleplays of real-life scenarios, encouraging participants to consider the perspectives of others and navigate potential cultural differences with sensitivity and empathy.
According to Mowlam Healthcare, the rollout of Diversity and Cultural Awareness Training across all their care centers in the coming months underscores their commitment to promoting a workplace culture that values diversity, fosters inclusion, and ensures the well-being of both employees and residents.
As Mowlam Healthcare continues to prioritise diversity and inclusion initiatives, the organisation remains dedicated to creating safe, diverse, and inclusive environments where everyone can thrive and contribute positively to their communities.
