Avoiding Discrimination In The Workplace - Top Tips & Problem Solving

Introduction

The Employment Appeal Tribunal has recently prescribed annual booster/refresher training for employers on equality and diversity in order to ensure that it is effective in eliminating harassment in the workplace.

The EAT drew an analogy with the Covid-19 vaccination programme - ‘we are interested not only in whether the vaccine will be effective in eliciting an immune system response, but also how long the response will last. There is an analogy to be made; how effective will training be to prevent harassment, and how long will it last’.

Delivered by employment expert Heather Platt, this virtual classroom seminar will cover all types of discrimination in the workplace and will provide guidance on how to tackle common problem areas.
