Recent legislation, such
as the Employment Equality Acts (1998-2007) and the
Equal Status Acts (2000-2004) outlaw discrimination
on nine specific grounds (including Disability, Race/Ethnic
Origin, Membership of The Traveller Community, Age,
Gender, Sexual Orientation, Religion, Marital Status
and Family Status).
As service providers and employers
you are facing a range of challenges as result of this
legislation and also becaused of increased diversity
among your staff/customers. These include:
- Potential for increased litigation from both employees
and customers (which can result in heavy financial
penalties).
- The "Cost of Intolerance" which can be
manifested in decreased profitability, lost customers,
reduced market share, high employee turnover and low
staff productivity.
- The negative publicity and unwelcome media attention
that can emanate from insufficient resource investment
in diversity/equality issues can do long lasting damage
to your corporate and brand image.
With our team of highly qualified/experienced
staff we can help you to meet the above challenges and
reap the benefits that come from effective diversity/equality
management.
