Tackling inequalities in the workplace

We would like to invite you to attend our next round of Equality and Human Rights Exchange events. These events will be held as follows:

• 15th March 2016 in Newport
• 16th March in Mold
• 17th March in Carmarthen

The Tackling inequalities in the workplace events will focus on:

• Pregnancy and Maternity Discrimination in the workplace
• Pay Gaps

The Commission will be launching its Pregnancy and Maternity-Related Discrimination and Disadvantage recommendations in February. During the March events colleagues from the EHRC Pregnancy and Maternity project team will share the recommendations so that, as a network, we can discuss how these recommendations could be put into practice.

You are all, I am sure, in the process of finalising your gender pay reports, and your equality objectives for 2016-2020. Last November we held an Equal Pay roundtable to share solutions and initiatives and provide fresh input to tackling the gender pay gap. The WAVE project has undertaken pilot projects to narrow gender pay gaps and colleagues will share some results.

Our Is Wales Fairer? report highlights the wider employment challenge of pay gaps affecting young people, ethnic minority and disabled people.

The events will provide you with some insight into our work and we will explore your equality objectives relating to the workplace for the next period, and your Strategic Equality Plans, to identify opportunities for sharing effective practice.
