The Basics of Discrimination Legislation
No matter what business you are in, it is vital that you understand the Equality Act 2010 and the way it affects how you do business. Understanding this Act is an important step towards becoming an equal opportunities employer.
The 2010 Equality Act pulled together and updated the various bits of anti-discrimination legislation. The introduction of the 2010 Act has provided clarification and significantly strengthened the UK’s discrimination laws.
It is essential for all firms to comply fully with this Act. Failure to do so could result in costly and time-consuming tribunal claims. Even more importantly, complying with the Act will help your firm to be recognised as an equal opportunities employer. This will significantly improve your ability to attract and keep the best people for your job roles.
