We live and work in an increasingly diverse and multi-cultural society; businesses ignore this at their peril. In accordance with the Equalities Act (2013), employers must be aware that they cannot discriminate on the basis of nine protected characteristics:
As employers and leaders, we are all legally responsible for ensuring that our staff are made fully aware of their rights and responsibilities in this area. At ELS, we have been working in this area for years, training personnel to behave within the law and with best practice. When your business embraces diversity, it thrives. Working with ELS we will help encourage an inclusive environment and capitalise on the potential of a diverse human terrain. We can provide legal briefings to guide employers and bespoke packages, tailored to your business’s needs, helping you to promote inclusion and avoid potential pitfalls.
