Equal Opportunity and Diversity

Managing diversity and promoting equal opportunity in the workplace is not only essential for ethical and compliance reasons but can also contribute to a more innovative, and successful business. Starting from the recruitment and hiring of new employees through to training, staff evaluation and appraisal, promotion and pay (and benefits) to redundancy and dismissal it is important that management set the standards for creating a diverse and inclusive workplace. A clear starting point is the development and implementation of employment policies that set out the practices and procedures required to maintain equality and diversity. Management should ensure these policies are communicated clearly to all employees.

In addition to the Equal Opportunities Policies, Discrimination Guidance, Equality and Diversity Monitoring Forms downloadable from the links below other supporting documents in maintaining equality specific to recruitment, training and pay are also available within the Employment subscription. Flexible working can also assist to provide for the diverse needs of employees, including remote/home working, flexible hours and part-time options. Specific contracts of employment for these different forms of employment can also be downloaded.

These documents will help your business comply with relevant anti-discrimination and equal opportunity laws and regulations. In addition to enabling your business to align with ethical principles and legal requirements, setting up and maintaining diversity policies and practices will open your business up to a wider talent pool, providing a stimulus to innovation, creativity and employee engagement.
