HR essentials- Creating an inclusive workplace

With the new changes to legislation around maternity leave and worker protection now is a crucial time for managers and business owners to improve managing equality, diversity and inclusion.

As well as navigating these changes it’s vital that you understand your responsibilities towards employees and understand the more equality, diversity and inclusion are included in a business’s strategy the more successful it will become.

But where to start? Our upcoming webinar ‘HR essentials- Creating an inclusive workplace’ is the perfect first step to discovering the secrets to creating an inclusive workplace.

On 6 April new legislation extended protection from redundancy from those on maternity leave to include the period from pregnancy to up to 18 months after birth. Then, in October 2024, the Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) Act 2023 is expected to come into force, which introduces a new duty on employers to take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment – including policies, training and investigation of allegations.
