Purpose and benefits

‘Discrimination’ differs from most other aspects of employee relations not only in the extent of legal provisions, but also in its emotional and social prominence. People tend to define discrimination in terms of their personal experience: if they feel discriminated against, this becomes a reality for them. Cases of discrimination still make regular headlines in the press, and tribunals still produce some surprises in interpretation of the laws. This is an area in which companies must be very sure of both their responsibilities and their rights.
