Training Courses
MODULE 1
INTERCULTURAL COMPETENCE TRAINING
Whether working globally or locally, few organisations can work solely within their own cultural context. An understanding of the cultures of your employees, your clients, your supporters has a strategic advantage that no other bottom-line can match.
This series will develop participants’ knowledge and skills on how to engage with and serve the various minority cultures represented in Ireland.
- Learn how to develop products and services that address the needs of minority cultures in Ireland
- Learn how to work sensibly and sensitively with people from different cultural background
- Learn to look at challenging intercultural situations holistically

Who Should Take This Training: Participants in change management programs.
Duration: 3 Hours
MODULE 2
DIVERSITY STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT TRAINING
Employees, consumers, investors, and activists expect employers to help address issues that breed persistent inequities in the society. Inaction or token action with respect to equality, diversity and inclusion is now an enterprise risk and competitive disadvantage.
By developing a company-wide strategy that promotes diversity across various units/departments, businesses can create opportunities for everyone to participate, prosper, and reach their full potential. This can significantly improve the company’s image as a good place to work and can help the business to attract and retain talented employees from different cultural backgrounds.
- Learn on how to create a strategic plan that includes measurable equity outcomes and diversity goals for each department/unit with a high-level management responsibility for achieving them.
- Learn how to identify, map and facilitate stakeholders’ synergy across departments to improve diversity and advance equitable outcomes in your organisation.
- Learn how to set priorities and goals in line with purpose aspirations and identify ways to mitigate negative tension points created by current practices.
- Appreciate how benchmarking of best practices can help your organisation to build internal capacity for an inclusive and adaptive culture that strengthens management and HR systems, policies, and practices.
- Gain skills that can help you to conduct an enterprise-wide EDI audit and understand the intended and unintended impacts of your products, services, operations, policies, and practices on marginalised communities.
- Develop skills that will help improve diversity on a cross sector of your organisation including supply chains, internal/external communication, talent acquisition/retention.
- Acquire an understanding of different approaches to building authentic and long-lasting relationships with marginalised communities.
Training Objectives: Ensure legal compliance and integrate Score Communication Principles in company strategy.
Who Should Take This Training: Team Leaders
Duration: 3 Days
MODULE 3
MIGRANTS' RIGHTS TRAINING
Migrants in Ireland have different statuses and different rights and entitlements when accessing services. Understanding the various immigration statuses in the Irish immigration law is important when developing services for this community.
Furthermore, with the current skill shortages in the Irish labour market, Irish businesses are now looking beyond the Irish borders, and some beyond EEA borders to fill the skills they need to continue to grow and compete globally. It is important for businesses to understand the processes involved when recruiting talent from abroad and the implications.
- Learn the legal rights and entitlements of migrants in Ireland and develop services which address the needs of migrants with various statuses.
- Learn what it takes to source and recruit talents from abroad including the processes involved and how to onboard candidates.
- Learn how to resolve cultural misunderstanding and how to solve challenging dilemmas.
- Learn how to help new employees from abroad to deal with cultural shock and to settle faster in Ireland.
Training Objectives: Comprehensive review of applicable legislation and understanding of conduct that may result in liability.
Who Should Take This Training:Management and Human Resources.
Duration: 3 Hours

Diversity Matters Consultants do not only have wealth of experience in supporting organisations and empowering leaders to integrate diversity into their corporate agenda and making it work for everyone, they also have lived experience on a variety of issues that can help to build a comprehensive and sophisticated understanding of the root causes of disparity, which are often rooted in structural racism and other systemic inequalities.

We use facilitation techniques for stakeholder engagement that allow new ideas to be generated and create space for honest discussion of challenges and conflicts, while also enabling a synthesis to emerge that will inform action.
