Understanding Diversity and Inclusion at Work
The Equality Act 2010 streamlined existing discrimination law and introduced new concepts and provisions for employers. The current legislation in place in today’s workplace ensures that these responsibilities are met by employers and employees equally.

Diversity and Equality work together in the workplace to ensure that employees have the same rights and opportunities no matter their situation. These help to ensure there is no discrimination in the workplace and that all employees are treated equally. Large and small employers may carry out their duties in different ways, but no employer is exempt from these duties in different ways, but no employer is exempt from these duties because of size.

From recruitment to performance, from reward to redundancy, every area is open to potential claims of discrimination. This workshop will help you ensure your organisation is legally compliant, whilst bringing you up to date on the latest developments in case law.
