• FIR Induction - Trainer Script

 

CITB co-fund CECA to run the industry-wide Fairness, Inclusion and Respect (FIR) Programme that aims to create an improved culture within the industry to attract and retain a more diverse range of people. The Supply Chain Sustainability School is the FIR Programme Delivery Partner, working closely with CECA and other industry partners. The FIR Programme resources include a toolkit, e-learning modules, workshops and masterclasses to support and train employers of all sizes across the construction industry.

To extend our training offer from 2020 onward, dedicated learning materials have been developed so training workshops can be delivered by any organisation, as required.

This new workshop is “Setting up an Inclusive Site”. An inclusive site is one that can be used easily and safely by everyone in a way that maintains their dignity. It ensures that, wherever possible, buildings and spaces are appropriate for diverse needs and accessible to all, behaviours are respectful and a culture is established so that everyone knows how to practice FIR in their daily working lives. It goes beyond a compliance approach to ensure that everyone working on, communicating with, or visiting the site are treated with fairness, inclusion, and respect.

Participants will come away from this training course with:

• An understanding of why it’s so important to set up and maintain an inclusive site


• Awareness of the benefits of setting up an inclusive site


• Knowledge and information to enable them to put it into practice


• Guidance through each stage of the process with supporting material


• Case studies and examples of industry good practice


• Actions to take back to their workplace

The course typically runs for 4 hours and all of the following materials should be used by an experienced trainer, referring to the Trainer Guide first of all.

“Leading People Inclusively” is aimed at anyone who holds a management or leadership role within the construction industry. It will support any FIR Ambassador in further developing their knowledge, understanding and how to practically apply that knowledge to support their organisation. We recommend that groups of 15-20 people will enable good interactions, discussions and ideas on how to improve participants’ leadership styles, manage organisational culture and make effective interventions.

This “Leading People Inclusively” workshop will:

• Provide managers and leaders with the opportunity to develop their knowledge and skills to enable them to demonstrate inclusive leadership at all levels.


• Allow delegates to explore their own biases and preferences when managing others.


• Actively seek out and consider different views and perspectives to help inform better decision-making.


• Provide the opportunity for delegates to explore the use of feedback to increase their self-awareness and develop their emotional intelligence.


• Enable delegates to explore how staff diversity is a source of competitive advantage that, once inspired, can drive organisational and individual performance towards a shared vision.

The course typically runs for 6 hours and all of the following materials should be used by an experienced trainer, who has leadership experience and is familiar with common leadership models (as a number are introduced during the course). S/he should refer to the Trainer Guide first of all.
