New! Right Smart Employers Toolkits
Discrimination and sexual harassment can cost businesses time and money, damage morale, reduce productivity and undermine their reputation. Companies with a diverse workforce often perform better and benefit from a more positive image in the marketplace.
Yesterday the Commission launched our new equal opportunity toolkits for employers. This suite of online tools will provide small to medium businesses with the information they need to understand and comply with the new Equal Opportunity Act 2010, and in doing so, promote a diverse workforce.
The toolkits include a range of information, checklists and policy templates. They focus on specific employment issues, including equal opportunity in practice, sexual harassment, disability and work, pregnancy and work, mature-age workers, and returning to work after injury or illness.
A confidential self-audit tool also allows businesses to assess their equal opportunity compliance and find out where they need to do more.
