Halfords, the UK’s largest retailer of motoring and cycling produces has been ordered to
- pay, an ex-employee, compensation in the sum of £24,199.45 for injury to feelings as a result of discrimination
- Review its Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) training programme and ensure that staff at all levels, including management, receive periodic retraining.
The above follows a long and somewhat complex tribunal appeal involving attendance, risk assessments, disciplinary action, appeals and resignation.
It provides a very useful case study for HR and Operational management; illustrating just how easy it is for issues to escalate when insufficient attention is paid to EDI
Concrew Training offer high value training in EDI for staff at all levels
