Course overview
This course is part of a series in which AbilityNet’s workplace inclusion experts discuss the importance of embedding inclusivity at every stage of employee journey. This course focuses on teamwork and collaboration.
Teamwork and collaboration are key to organisational success. Research by Atlassian shows that diverse teams outperform uniform teams by 35%. In today’s volatile world, we want our teams to work together bringing their wide and varied viewpoints to solve problems and build products and services that embrace the needs of the widest possible audience. But what are the barriers to achieving this? How do you create a teamworking and collaboration context that welcomes and benefits from all viewpoints, skillsets, and contributions?
What you will learn
- AbilityNet’s workplace inclusion experts will discuss the importance of embedding inclusivity at every stage of team and collaborative working processes.
- The course is interactive and practical and involves real life case studies and employee feedback to help articulate the benefits and how technology can be used to help achieve this.
- Attendees will use AbilityNet’s employee inclusion journey GAP analysis questions to help identify gaps in their own process and understand tech powered solutions that can help.
