Employers learn about the new employment rules

The late September sunshine created an atmospheric setting for delegates to hear employment barrister from York Chambers, Bruce Frew, highlight the key changes introduced by the new Equality Act.

We recently hosted the seminar in the grounds of our office where it was an opportunity for businesses to have the changes explained, and therefore help them understand how the legislation with affect them, and their employees.

A lively Q&A session allowed the delegates to talk through the practical implications of the Act in the workplace. In this session there was a discussion of specific situations of particular relevance to the participants. Feedback from all who attended was extremely positive and attendees left feeling more confident about how to deal with the range of employment issues that will have a major impact on many businesses.
