The Legal Risk Score of a Discrimination Policy Template is Low
Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:
- The policy extends beyond the physical workplace to include off-site work activities and social functions, which may increase the responsibility of the organization to monitor and enforce the policy in less controlled environments.
- The effectiveness of the policy relies heavily on employees coming forward with complaints, which may not always occur if employees are unaware or hesitant to report issues.
- The document outlines a range of disciplinary actions, including dismissal, which could lead to significant consequences for individuals found in breach of the policy, potentially impacting staff morale and retention.
