Acas launches new equality and diversity guide

The employment relations service Acas has launched a new equality and diversity guide.

The guide aims to shows employers how to approach equality and diversity in areas such as recruitment, pay and training. It also recommends that the policy should be backed up with a constantly monitored action plan.

Acas says an action plan represents a business's promise to treat all employees fairly and considerately. To make sure this promise becomes a reality, the guide advises employers to:

• Review existing action plans, or write a new policy if one does not exist
• Monitor how the policy is working in practice; a critical stage in delivering equality in the workplace
• Take action when and where it is needed to re-address any inequality

The guide is available to download at: www.acas.org.uk/index.aspx?articleid=818
