Employers face an average cost of £8,500 for defending against an employment tribunal claim, according to The British Chamber of Commerce. Discrimination claims can be the most costly, especially when they also cause reputational damage to the business.
It's therefore imperative that employers have good anti-discrimination strategies in place, both to achieve a fairer, more productive workplace and to avoid expensive claims.
In this webinar for SMEs, guest speaker Toby Pochron, who is a Senior Associate in the Freeths LLP Employment Law department, outlines:
- How discrimination can occur in business
- How to anticipate and prevent discrimination
- How to protect your business from discrimination claims
