Why do I need training on Equality and Diversity?
Discrimination claims at Employment Tribunals vary year-on-year. As the award for cases of discrimination and harassment is uncapped, these cases often attract media attention, which can be detrimental to a company’s brand and reputation.
When considering how to prevent discrimination from occurring within your business, and advocating equality, inclusion, and diversity, it’s important to understand the key obligations to deter and prevent discrimination, including:
- Promoting a culture that does not tolerate or encourage any form of discrimination;
- Ensuring that robust policies and procedures are in place;
- Providing training on induction and refresher training on a regular basis;
- Ensuring that such training is up-to-date and effective;
- Taking appropriate disciplinary action if an employee discriminates against another;
- Learning from any incidents of discrimination to prevent them from re-occurring.
We can also offer training for businesses who are not using our HR Retainer package. Visit our Training Courses page to book or complete the form to receive more information.
HR Solutions was easy for us to use and responsive from the very start. Within a few days we had our first-aid, fire warden and health and safety courses booked and in the diary for our team. I cannot say enough good things about Dom our instructor. He is so engaging and really became a member of the team for the three days of training. We really enjoyed how passionate he is about the subject and how he brought it to life for us. We have even booked for another course on mental health first-aid which we are really looking forward to! We highly recommend HR Solutions and Dom for all your training needs.
