Last call for EU funded workplace support scheme
Mike Sweeting, human resources officer at Aldwark Manor.
A Knaresborough non-profit has made a final call for small businesses to take advantage of a workplace support scheme.
The Thriving at Work programme is led by Better Connect and aims to help firms create an inclusive workplace, in particular for staff who are neurodiverse, disabled, or experiencing mental health challenges.
The support, which is EU funded, is aimed at businesses across the Harrogate district and North Yorkshire.
The programme includes:
- Inclusive workplace support: one-to-one business support to help create an inclusive workplace, covering policies and procedures, recruitment, culture and values, staff training, quality marks and more.
- Diversity training: webinars and training courses relevant to creating inclusive workplaces.
- Workplace support: one-to-one coaching and support for employees who identify as neurodiverse, disabled, or experienced mental health challenges.
Mike Sweeting, human resources officer at Aldwark Manor which undertook the scheme, said:
As the UK is no longer a member of the European Union, businesses must sign up by March 31, to take advantage of Thriving at Work’s fully funded inclusive workplace support, which will be delivered by June 30, 2023.
