Ben launches Equality, Diversity & Inclusion training for the automotive industry

Today, Ben is launching its new Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) training course which has been created for all employees across the automotive industry. The course covers the impact of EDI, strategies for recognising and addressing bias and how to champion diversity as a driving force for innovation and collaboration within organisations.

This four-hour course is deliverable either face-to-face or virtually and helps automotive workers and their employers foster an inclusive workplace culture. Course participants will have open conversations about the significance of EDI in the workplace, learn how unconscious bias operates and explore practical ways to embed inclusive practices across their organisation.

Ben Training is rooted in support as all profits generated from course bookings support Ben’s mission of providing free, confidential health and wellbeing support for life to those who work, or have worked, in the automotive industry and their families.

Julie Hayes, Specialist Services Lead at Ben, said: “We’re delighted to be launching our new Equality, Diversity & Inclusion training today. EDI training helps build a fairer, more respectful, and more innovative workplace while also driving business success. With over 120 years serving the automotive industry, we’re best placed to support automotive workers, offering the training needed to help them to live well and work well, as well as working closely with employers to build a resilient and motivated workforce.

“There are many compelling reasons for automotive companies to invest in EDI training. Inclusive workplaces promote mutual respect and belonging, helping employees feel valued, improving engagement and retention. Diverse perspectives fuel creativity, innovation and stronger decision-making, while improved cultural awareness enhances customer relations and reputation. In addition, proactive EDI training reduces the risk of discrimination claims and boosts overall business performance. We hope you’ll consider Ben as your next training partner.”
