The Black Lives Matter protests have refocused attention on race inequality, including in the workplace. Black and ethnic minority staff still face widespread discrimination and under-representation. Many employers have vowed to do better - but how do you put those equality and inclusion commitments into practice?
We held a webinar on Tuesday 15 September where Jane Amphlett, the Head of our Employment team, chaired a panel featuring Partner Sam Murray-Hinde and Associate Anjali Raval from Howard Kennedy, and Rachel Crasnow QC a leading employment and equalities counsel at Cloisters Chambers. This webinar looked at the practical steps employers can take towards workplace race equality. From diversity monitoring to ethnic pay gap reporting, anti-harassment training and positive action, the panel discussed what the law allows (and requires) and how to get the most out of your diversity programme.
