The cost of getting it wrong

The legal risks are clear. The average Employment Tribunal Award for Disability Discrimation in 2011-12 was £22,183, with the highest award in that year of £390,871. This takes no account of settlements made before reaching tribunal, or the ongoing internal costs of handling these disputes.

And it's not just about direct financial costs. Many blue chip employers are investing in Diversity and Inclusion because they understand the need to nurture the talent they need in a rapidly-changing world. This potential benefit can only be achieved by identifying the needs of staff and investing in meeting those needs.

An integrated solution that reduces legal risk

Employers must take a pro-active approach to avoid discrimination. But many HR Directors and line managers are nervous about approaching staff on these subjects and fear the possibility of legal action.
