Session information
Breakout Session 3: Equal treatment - how to balance regulation and affirmative action
Thursday 8 September (1400 - 1515)
Description
This session will consider whether complex and technical rules governing equal treatment are more effective to achieving their aim than general principles of non-discrimination and equal treatment. Employers are subject to increasingly burdensome and changing legislation on equal treatment so the effort involved in trying to keep up with this ever-changing landscape may potentially discourage efforts by employers to introduce positive and proactive changes that go beyond these (minimal) requirements.
