The government released a statement yesterday in response to a national newspaper publishing an article claiming that the Employment Rights Bill will require businesses to hire “diversity officers to pursue woke agendas”.
Although this claim has been debunked, the article with its sensationalist headline remains published. We often see clients reading exaggerated headlines and having misconstrued concerns about their business, which can prevent them from taking the correct preventative measures to protect their business.
The Employment Rights Bill is a lengthy legal document. Businesses with queries about its implementation and impact should speak with employment law specialists, like Peach Law, to guide them through it rather than engage with scaremongering from media outlets who are not legally qualified.
Keep your Peach Law notifications on so that you can get updated when we post on the Employment Rights Bill and other legal developments!
