Session information
Clash between personal beliefs and corporate culture and implications for free speech
Monday 16 September (1115 - 1230)
Committee(s)
Diversity and Equality Law Committee
(Lead)
Description
In the past, businesses preferred to remain apolitical – to not be involved or active – in supporting or promoting any particular religious, social or political initiatives or causes. Today, more and more businesses are actively taking and promoting positions on such matters as part of their corporate culture and encouraging (and in some cases requiring) employees to follow suit. This is increasingly resulting in conflict where employees argue that their personal rights are being infringed at the expense of corporate culture.
