SOME NEW PERSPECTIVES ON HOW TO MAKE EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES TRAINING EFFECTIVE

Abstract

The legal requirements on all organisations to provide equality of opportunity to those groups of people in society who it has been shown suffer discrimination, has meant that many managers have had to begin to review their personnel policies on such matters as recruitment and promotion. During the last five years or so, a number of us who have been working with some of these managers and who have been interested in increasing the contribution that training can make to advancing equality of opportunity, have been developing a number of new perspectives on the issues that underlie inequality of opportunity, and this has led us towards the development of new approaches to training, new training designs and new training skills.
