Inclusive Workplace Culture Training for Employers

Inclusive Workplace Culture Training in Scotland

Develop a workplace culture that actively values difference, challenges exclusion, and empowers every voice to be heard.

Creating an inclusive workplace culture isn’t a box to tick. It’s a daily commitment that shapes how we work, lead, communicate, and treat one another. In Scotland, where fairness and community values matter deeply, inclusive workplaces are essential to building stronger teams and healthier organisations.

This training goes beyond awareness. It gives your team the practical tools to build an inclusive culture from the ground up. Through interactive sessions, real-life examples, and honest conversations, we help you identify what gets in the way of inclusion and how to actively create belonging.

We believe inclusion is everyone’s responsibility. That means embedding it into leadership, policies, everyday language, and team culture. Whether you’re in the public, private, or third sector, this training can be tailored to your team and sector context in Scotland.

Inclusive culture doesn’t just happen — it’s something we build together

Why Inclusive Workplace Culture Matters

Inclusion Drives Performance

Inclusive teams perform better.

According to Accenture, companies that prioritise inclusion see a 32% increase in revenue.

When people feel valued, they contribute more — and everyone benefits.

Belonging Improves Wellbeing and Engagement

When people feel they belong, they’re more likely to be happy, motivated, and committed.

Inclusion helps build workplaces where people feel safe, valued, and able to contribute.

Inclusive Teams Are More Creative

Perkbox research found that 32% of teams became more creative and innovative after improving their inclusion policies.

A diverse mix of voices leads to fresh thinking and stronger teamwork.

Inclusive Workplace Culture Training - Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our Inclusive Workplace Culture Training below, and get in touch if you need further assistance!

Will people feel comfortable talking about bias and inclusion?

We create a respectful and non-judgemental space where people can be honest, ask questions, and explore sensitive topics without fear of getting it wrong.

Can we book this as part of a wider leadership development programme?

Yes. We offer customisable pathways and can integrate inclusive culture modules into your existing leadership or management training.

How long does the training take?

Most of our courses are available as either half-day or full-day sessions.

The half-day version provides a strong foundation, while the full-day option offers a more in-depth and interactive experience.

For most teams, we recommend the full-day format to allow time for discussion, reflection, and practical application — but we’re happy to advise on what’s best for your organisation.

Can the training be adapted for specific sectors or job roles?

Yes — we tailor each session to suit your sector, workforce, and workplace realities.

Whether you’re in healthcare, education, local government, retail, or manufacturing, we ensure the content feels relevant and actionable for your team.

Is the training suitable for whole teams or just leadership?

Both. Some courses are ideal for leadership teams, but others work well as full-team sessions to start wider conversations about culture and inclusion.

Can we run this as part of a wellbeing or staff development week?

Yes. These courses fit well into wider development initiatives and can be adapted in length or format to suit your event.

Will we receive any follow-up resources or support?

Yes — participants receive relevant handouts, guides, and links to further resources after the session.

For organisations looking to take things further, we also offer follow-up support, including action planning sessions or consultation.

Does the training cover legal requirements?

While our focus is on practical action, we can include tailored guidance on the Equality Act 2010 and your legal obligations around inclusion if needed.

Who delivers the training?

Our lead trainer, Amanda O'Connell, delivers the majority of sessions. She is a Certified Disability Management Professional with a strong background in inclusive employment and workplace wellbeing.

Amanda is supported by a small team of experienced trainers who bring a mix of professional expertise and lived experience of disability.

You will always be provided with suitably qualified and experienced trainers to meet the needs of your organisation.

Do you cover topics like gender equity, race equity, or neurodiversity?

Yes. We can incorporate these into your session or deliver focused training on specific inclusion topics based on your needs.

Can you deliver this training in rural or remote areas of Scotland?

Absolutely. We offer in-person training across Scotland and online delivery that ensures access for remote or hybrid teams.

How much does the training cost?

Costs depends on a number of factors including the format, duration and number of participants.

We’re happy to provide a no-obligation quote based on your needs — just get in touch for a quick conversation.

How interactive is the training?

Very. We use discussion, case studies, reflective exercises, and scenario work to keep participants engaged and learning actively.

You can’t change culture overnight — but you can start today

Real change starts with daily actions — and a culture where everyone feels safe, respected, and heard.

Our training gives your team the skills and confidence to make inclusion part of how you lead, communicate, and work together.
