From Compliance to Culture - Making Equality & Inclusion Work in Your Organisation

Introduction

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) is no longer a ‘nice to have’- it is a legal, commercial and cultural imperative for every UK employer. With increasing expectations and scrutiny from regulators, the Fair Work Agency’s establishment and rising numbers of discrimination and harassment claims, organisations must understand their obligations to protect staff and maintain safe, inclusive working environments.

This webinar will explain the legal framework around discrimination, recent changes in legislation and the practical steps employers must take to reduce risk, meet statutory duties and build an inclusive culture.

Delegates will gain clarity on complex areas, learn how to strengthen diversity policies and receive solutions to common challenges such as preventing harassment, managing positive action lawfully and ensuring employees feel able to speak up and challenge discriminatory actions.
