Discrimination Updates

back to course list

This overview of the latest discrimination law and definitions is designed for the line manager, owner manager or busy HR specialist.  Focussing on what can be done (rather than what can't) this 'mine detector' approach is designed to help focus on identifying danger zones, recognising when trouble is brewing and setting up longer term strategies that focus on diversity in a commercial and profitable context.

This session is designed to help managers check their existing systems and plan for change.
