Course Overview
Creating an inclusive workplace requires more than good intentions. Organisations need effective plans, measurable objectives, and clear reporting to turn equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) commitments into meaningful action. The CMI Bitesize course, Develop and Implement Plans and Reports, introduces the practical approaches managers can use to improve workplace equality and support positive organisational change. Developed by the Chartered Management Institute (CMI), this short professional development programme focuses on putting inclusive workplace practices into action.
Through this short equality, diversity and inclusion course, you will explore equality impact assessments, action planning, benchmarking, and the use of data to measure progress. You will develop an understanding of how organisations can monitor EDI initiatives, evaluate their outcomes, and report on improvements. The course is suitable for aspiring and practising managers, team leaders, HR professionals and employees preparing leadership responsibilities who want to develop their knowledge of inclusive workplace planning.
With Global Edulink, you can complete this CMI Bitesize EDI course fully online and at your own pace. Flexible learning allows you to study around your work and personal commitments, while practical resources and interactive activities help you connect the subject to real workplace situations. You can access your learning across devices and develop useful knowledge without committing to a lengthy qualification. There are no formal examinations, allowing you to focus on understanding and applying the course concepts.
The knowledge gained from this equality and inclusion planning course may support career progression towards roles such as Equalities Officer, HR Officer or Training Officer, depending on your experience and additional qualifications. You can also complement your learning with CMI Bitesize courses such as Legal and Organisational Approaches and Role and Responsibilities of a Manager. Further development opportunities include human resource management, organisational development, and inclusive leadership.
