| Summary |
Complying with the law is only the first step, changing organisational culture is also necessary to tackle the persistent forms of discrimination that exist in the workplace. The Gower Handbook of Discrimination at Work considers the current legal framework of discrimination law, it offers critical perspectives on the effectiveness of the law in the promotion of non-discrimination, and discusses the changes being proposed that will lead to a single equality act. The authors then look at ways to address discrimination. The Handbook will interest practitioners, such as HR professionals and manage. |
