Linguistic Profiling
for Professionals

Communicating equality

Having a diverse, inclusive workforce means that an organisation can offer a wide range of ideas, skills, resources and energies to give it a competitive edge.

There are clear benefits to having a more diverse workforce. There is a much wider pool of talent available to an organisation that embraces diversity, who will then reap the benefits of a broader market, improved productivity and an enriched profile within the community.

Because of the perceived complexity of the subject, many organisations can find it difficult to fully engage with and address these issues. Here at LiPP, we can provide you with the expertise you need. Our staff have over 20 years' experience researching and teaching equality, diversity and organisational communication in a wide range of businesses and organisations in the UK and globally, from SMEs through to large multinationals.

Our unique links with a wide range of consultants who specialise in this area means that we can offer tailored support for your organisation, either through consultancy, workshops or online courses, to create a training package that's unique to you and your needs.
