Recent case law has taught us that discrimination training can become stale and it is likely to become best practice to ensure your employees are refreshed on this training annually, says Joanne Holborn, Employment Law Specialist and Partner at Baines Wilson LLP.
Training can help drive positive, inclusive behaviour and reinforce the message that preventing discrimination and harassment and ensuring equal opportunities is a strategic priority in your business. Your employees will be given an overview of the landscape of discrimination law (under the Equality Act 2010) and appreciate its impact in the workplace and provided with the latest updates on case law and legislation.
