Understanding the consequences of discrimination and the scope and effect of legislation designed to combat it in the workplace, is a key element to the creation and sustainability of an inclusive culture in the workplace. Organisations need to have a clear understanding of the legal and regulatory framework pertaining to discriminatory practices in the workplace.
This, in turn, encompasses a need for managers and employees to have a broad practical knowledge of Federal and State anti-discrimination laws, what rights and obligations flow from them and also to understand the negative consequences, for the organisation and its members, which might ensure when discriminatory acts occur.
Diversity Consulting's legal experts are able to ensure that your organisation is kept abreast of all Federal and State laws which govern discriminatory actions and practices in your workplace. We are able to give advice and guidance on the formulation of policy and other documents which will inform managers and employees as to how to limit the incidents of inappropriate workplace behaviour, how to respond when it occurs in the workplace and what procedures should be followed for lodging complaints; conducting investigations and resolving disputes.
Diversity Consulting's Discrimination Solutions, such as our 'Fair is Fair' workshop on Discrimination, Harassment and Bullying is designed to provide practical interventions to reduce discrimination in the workplace. Our solutions can be tailored to meet the circumstances of your organisation and will take account of the business environment in which it operates.
