Context:
Legislated for in the 2010 Equality Act, positive action is still not well understood. Used properly, it can help employers develop a more representative workforce, help an organisation understand its customers better and potentially help public bodies meet their equality duties.
Join us on 20 July to be briefed on the dos and don'ts of positive action and how it can be used in recruitment and promotion processes.
Key Issues to be Addressed Include:
- The benefits of using positive action to help create a more representative workforce
- When it can/cannot be used
- Tie break situations at different stages of the recruitment process
- Treating disabled people more favourably
- Demonstrating why you need to use it
- Having an evidence base & avoiding perceptions of bias
- Positive action in practice & real life examples of its use
The event will be divided in to sessions entitled:
- Positive Action & Employment Law
- Having an evidence base & avoiding perceptions of bias
- Positive action in practice when recruiting externally
- Positive action in practice when promoting internally
- Positive Action Workshop with Inclusive Employers
Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with the expert panel throughout.
Who Should Attend?
