50 years on from the Sex Discrimination Act, sexism is unfortunately still common at work. And yet studies repeatedly show that more diverse workplaces are more successful.In this episode, we discuss questions like:Do workplace policies sustain gender stereotypes?Has the pandemic successfully de-coupled gender from flexible working?Will the UK government reform gender pay gap reporting this year?Does a holiday really allow for “rest and relaxation” if the employee is suffering from menopause symptoms, menstrual pain or undergoing early-stage IVF treatment?We look at how gender equality issues are changing, and help HR and legal teams to navigate the risks, challenges and debates. We also highlight a story that considers: when is a sex discrimination case not a sex discrimination case?As employers continue to face challenges with recruitment and retention, it’s more important than ever that they’re able to show a strong hand with regards to ESG and ED&I issues.Useful links:Acas – Improving equality, diversity and inclusionThe Fawcett Society – Menopause and the workplaceTLT - Addressing menopause in the workplace***Send us your questions and we'll answer them in a future episode – email [email protected] or tweet us using #TLTemploymentpodcast or @TLT_EmploymentYou can find out more about our employment team at tltsolicitors.com/employmentSign up to receive our updates at tltsolicitors.com/signupIf you’ve enjoyed listening, please rate us and write a review.
