Practice guidance: Workplace policies to support equality and respect

Summary

This guide aims to help you by providing an overview of basic policies and procedures that organisations should have in place to support workplace equality and respect; advice on how to apply a ‘gender lens’ to existing policies so they don’t reproduce harmful gender stereotypes or contain unconscious gender-based discrimination; ways to communicate policies and procedures throughout the organisation; an overview of the role of monitoring and continuous quality improvement.
