FRS Launches New DEI Training: Building Inclusive Irish Workplaces

FRS Launches New DEI Training: Building Inclusive Irish Workplaces
Inclusive workplaces don’t happen by chance. They’re built with intention. That’s why FRS Training has launched our new Disability, Equality & Inclusion (DEI) Training Programme, designed to help Irish organisations create workplaces that are accessible, respectful, and truly inclusive.
This training gives leaders, HR teams, and staff the tools to challenge bias, communicate inclusively, and build lasting cultural change.
Why Disability Equality & Inclusion Matter
In Ireland today, 1 in 5 people live with a disability https://www.disability-federation.ie/publications/disability-in-ireland-factsheet-2024/. Yet, stigma, unconscious bias, and accessibility barriers still hold many back from participating fully in the workplace.
Our programme helps organisations:
Recognise and challenge stigma, bias, and stereotypes
Understand and implement reasonable accommodations
Communicate inclusively and confidently
Lead with empathy, fairness, and respect

Our focus is on actionable strategies, not just awareness.
What the Programme Covers Grounded in FREDIE™ principles https://nationalcentrefordiversity.com/diversity-training/fredie-the-basics/ (Fairness, Respect, Equality, Disability Inclusion & Engagement), the course is tailored for Irish workplaces and legislation.
