HJ Talks About Charities: Creating the right culture for an equal workplace


HJ Talks About Charities: Creating the right culture for an equal workplace

With issues of discrimination hitting the headlines on a daily basis surrounding the treatment of the Duchess of Sussex, Laurence Fox’s BBC Questiontime appearance and more, we ask what exactly can organisations do when an informal chat at the tea point turns into a formal allegation of race discrimination? What language is appropriate? Who decides what is reasonable? Is motive irrelevant?

Joined by Kate Walsh, Associate in our Employment and HR Services team and Ruth Coombs, Head of Wales for the Equality and Human Rights Commission, our podcast explores the latest furore and discuss what organisations can do to create the right culture for an equal workplace.
