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 (Disability Federation of Ireland, “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 (Fairness, Respect, Equality, Disability Inclusion & Engagement), the course is tailored for Irish workplaces and legislation.

 

Core Modules include:

• Understanding Disability: Visible and invisible disabilities, informed by lived experience
• Equality in Practice: Legal responsibilities under the Employment Equality Acts & UNCRPD
• Inclusive Culture Building: Tools to embed fairness and respect in daily operations
• Bias Awareness: Spotting unconscious bias and reducing its impact
• Accessible Leadership: Empowering managers to lead inclusively

Delivered through interactive workshops, case studies, and group discussions, this training equips teams to embed change in practice.

 

Who Should Attend?

• This course is designed for:
• HR teams and hiring managers
• Line managers and team leaders
• Executives and decision-makers
• Staff in any sector aiming to create inclusive workplaces

Courses are delivered in person and/or online across Ireland, making learning accessible and tailored to local workplace needs.
