Workplace discrimination and how to avoid it Training Course

One of the biggest mistakes you can make as an employer is to treat an employee differently, or unfairly, for any reason. You could be opening yourself up to an accusation of discrimination, even if it’s unintentional on your part.
In a world where the possible grounds for discrimination have now reached well into double figures, and with there being almost as many different types of discrimination as there are protected characteristics, it is almost inevitable that virtually every employee has at least one ground to make an accusation that they may have been discriminated against.

Under the Equality Act 2010, discrimination in the workplace is unlawful and can cost employers significant amounts in compensation if they are caught committing a discriminatory act. You might think that most people know they should not discriminate unlawfully against a person and whilst that is largely true, it is easy to accidentally discriminate against someone, simply by not fully considering the effects of a given action.

Discrimination is only unlawful if it occurs on the grounds of a protected characteristic including: Age, Race, Religion, Belief, Gender, Sexual Orientation, Pregnancy and maternity, Marital Status and Disability.

With compensation having no upper cap, and regularly reaching six figure sums, it is a worthwhile investment to understand exactly how discrimination laws operate and most importantly, how to avoid claims for the hefty sums.
