Diverse and Inclusive Workplaces in India

Times are changing - women, people with disabilities and transgenders want to be financially independent and organisations
are understanding the value of gender diversity. Soon the society and organisations will hire more women, transgenders and
people with disabilities and make workplaces diversified.

With the changing workforce scenario, it is only imperative that the work environment gears up to accommodate and provide
a congenial environment. Therefore, educating, training and empowering your team helps in achieving inclusiveness.

Programs on Gender Sensitization

UCS helps in creating awareness, mindfulness on the biases that exist

What We Do in society since time immemorial and must be relooked into,

This session usually requires us to understand the mindset of

Programs on Unconscious Biases

A country like India, which has diverse geographies, religions,

practices, communities, languages and is a patriarchal society, biases
are the name of the game. We are instilled with it at home, at school,
What We Do by religion. We are not aware of it and believe what we do is a part of
us.

Our programs on unconscious bias, not only helps in examining these

biases, but also helps in understanding the effects of these biases. The
workshop aims to instill a new thought process in employees to work
without such biases.
