Minority Group Leadership Training
We are a BAME and LGBTQ+ founded organisation on a mission to diversify leadership teams.
At Michael Mauro, we know what it takes to design and deliver awesome leadership development programmes for aspiring BAME, LGBTQ+ and Neurodivergent employees. We’ll give them all the help they need to grab leadership roles by the horns and flourish into more senior positions.
Minority Leadership Training Programmes
Creating diverse places to work has been one of the biggest challenges facing organisations over the last decade. But that challenge is incomparable to the age-old struggles facing minority groups all over the UK and the rest of the world.
To this day, employees from ethnic minority backgrounds still face discrimination and disadvantage when trying to get into and progress at work compared with their white British peers.
And when looking at statistics for senior positions, it gets a whole lot worse. For example, a study on the ethnicity of UK boards found that only 85 of the 1,050 director positions in the FTSE 100 are held by directors of colour.
Things need to change. That’s why we’re dedicated to offering minority group leadership training to help organisations close diversity gaps in their middle and senior positions. By providing much-needed training programmes, we can help you nurture the untapped talent of your BAME, LGBTQ+ and Neurodivergent employees to create a fair and equitable workforce that does the right thing - not just the bare minimum.
Why Is Minority Group Leadership Training Important?
Besides being the ethical thing to do, putting individuals from minority groups into leadership roles also makes sense from a business point of view, especially in an increasingly competitive environment.
Seeing that it’s possible to progress in a company – no matter your background – is guaranteed to engage and empower your staff. This can lead to increased employee engagement, higher retention rates and even more innovation as you invite diverse perspectives into your decision-making processes.
