Watch Promo
How to Attract and Retain Greater Diversity emphasises simple and practical ways to think about diversity and inclusion, serving as a bridge to reframing barriers into opportunities, as clubs work to:
- Re-engage membership
- Attract and retain greater diversity
- Commit to inclusive environments
- Establish future vision and practices
- Strategically apply for grants and funding
- Decrease turnaround time for return to play
Narratives and insights are drawn from personal experience, evidence-based research and interviews examining best practice, including a Winston
Churchill Trust fellowship exploring “strategies for influencing social change that
enables and encourages girls to be the authors of their own lives”.
It examines:
1. The evidence: diversity, inclusion and high performance
2. Barriers: where diversity and inclusion fall short
3. How to identify simple actions and ripple effects for attracting and retaining greater diversity.
Ultimately, this course is designed to inspire teams to action.
By bridging the gap between theory and practice, participants learn to create environments where people from all backgrounds can thrive and contribute to optimal team performance.
