Included Features
Equality and diversity is more than just legislation and applies to many of our day-to-day responsibilities. We can all agree that no-one should feel bullied or harassed at work, but did you know that employers have a legal duty of care to put measures in place to prevent this from happening?
As well as being a legal requirement, equality and diversity is critical to the success of any organisation. Managers especially play an important role in developing a culture of fairness and inclusion.
Employers have certain obligations when it comes to ensuring employees’ wellbeing. This includes creating a safe work environment free from discrimination. Employers must provide proper training to managers on the importance of equality and diversity in the workplace and ensure prevention of behaviours that could lead to unlawful and unfair employment practices.
Managers have the added responsibility of ensuring equality, diversity and dignity within their teams. Part of the manager’s role is to consider the impact of equality and diversity while managing teams and individuals, enabling fair treatment and culture of respect as well as enforcing related policies and procedures in the workplace.
All workplaces must comply with the Equality Act and managers play an important part in actively promoting equality and diversity among their teams. The Equality Act was introduced to eliminate unlawful discrimination, create equal opportunities, and promote good relations between people within the working environment no matter who they are. Managers have the added level of responsibility when it comes to dealing with prejudicial behaviour and making the adjustments needed so that everyone has access to the same opportunities.
