Why Dignity at Work?

Our Dignity at Work course helps staff build a respectful, safe, and inclusive workplace where everyone can thrive.
By exploring behaviours that support or undermine dignity, participants gain the awareness and practical skills needed to challenge bullying, harassment, and microaggressions effectively.
The training also strengthens understanding of power and privilege, and how these dynamics can affect everyday interactions. Through case studies and organisation-specific policies, staff learn how to apply strategies for effective communication, respectful feedback, and supportive teamwork.
This course ultimately empowers employees to contribute to a positive culture, prevent problematic behaviours, and uphold the values of dignity and respect across the organisation.

Course content

Using your organisation’s policies and bespoke case studies, we will explore strategies for creating a respectful workplace culture including effective communication and challenging macro and micro aggressions.

We will cover the following:

  • The environment you want at work
  • Key definitions – including bullying and harassment and microaggressions
  • The legal framework and your organisation’s policy
  • Dealing with inappropriate language and behaviour
  • Power, privilege and their relationship to dignity
  • Effective challenging and supporting others
  • Receiving feedback and self-reflection

At the end of the course, participants will have a deeper understanding of dignity at work and will be equipped with practical tools to recognise, address and prevent future problematic behaviours.

“I had the great fortune to have worked with Donna Carty over a three-year period whilst at Shakespeare's Globe and beyond. Donna developed a programme of truly inspiring, thought provoking and also challenging training for colleagues at all levels of the organisation and also assisted with policy development and strategic consultancy. I could not recommend Donna more highly to any organisation who are serious and intentional about developing and then implementing their approaches to achieving a more inclusive workplace."
Esther Joseph
Team Manager Autism
"Priscilla spoke at our #LondonVirtualAutisticConference2 - over 1200 people signed up for the event and the feedback on Priscilla's presentation has been outstanding. We have since been recommending schools to view Priscilla's presentation as she gave some very practical ideas as to how school staff can better support Neurodivergent young people in their care. I would definitely recommend Priscilla and would like to hire her again to speak directly to our school staff and colleges. She is relatable, knowledgeable and a good public speaker"

There was some constructive consideration, all of which was handled with great care and respect but ultimately I have come away feeling empowered to make the changes we discussed".
