However, with an ever-increasing focus on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) issues, organisations are trying to address their exposure to litigation risk through the implementation and updating of DEI policies, employee training and carrying out deeper reviews and campaigns around DEI issues. It is important for individuals in the workplace to feel more comfortable about voicing their concerns about any issues that they face or perceive, to enable them to be addressed. DEI policies, together with other action in this area, are increasingly important as a means of reducing EPL claims and mitigating any potential impact of issues or resultant filings.
