We are delighted to share our Diving into Diversity Vlog Series. Our London Baker McKenzie Employment team will be diving into Inclusion, Diversity & Equity topics throughout this series to bring your attention to upcoming changes, interesting developments and key takeaways for you to be aware of from an Employment law angle.
If you have any further questions on how these changes may impact your organization or would like to discuss any areas of legal work that you are focusing on in the Inclusion, Diversity and Equity space, please don’t hesitate to contact your regular Baker McKenzie contact.
Episode two - Duty to prevent sexual harassment at work
This short watch deals with the forthcoming duty on employers to take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment of employees which comes into force on 26 October 2024. The new duty sits alongside existing protections but demands a more proactive approach from employers to identify and address risk. We explore the legal and practical implications of the new duty, including what a “reasonable step” might look like in practice.
Episode one - Immigration and Employment issues relating to new visa costs
This 10 minute watch deals with the increasing cost of the UK visa process and the impact these changes will have on employers. The intersection between employment law and immigration is an interesting and topical one – prudent employers will have this on their radars as the implications of the visa fee and salary band changes mean that employers may need to actively consider reviewing their policy and decision making processes balancing fairness and compliance, with respect to their workforces.
This year's series explored terminology and language, understanding our changing demographics with a focus on embedding inclusion through organisational change.
Pay Equity
To maintain progress toward core I&D goals, pay equity audits are a vital tool in understanding and tackling pay inequality at work.
