Tackling social inequality

Posted by Sarah Loates on August 29, 2016 at 4:59pm in Workplace Matters

Equality has been in the news again with Theresa May's recent announcemnet about the establishment of an audit to tackle public sector racial disparities:

This was also on the back of a recent report that highlighted the continuing divide in gender pay:

Also a recent article I picked up on around disablity discrimination for those who are hearing impaired

It looks like equality and diversity will be back at the top of HR's agenda, do you agree?
