all aboard the positive action train

First ScotRail’s efforts to recruit more women and people from ethnic minorities is the latest high-profile attempt by an organisation to examine its corporate make-up and ensure it is a diversity-friendly employer.

Employers denying themselves access to as deep a pool of talent as possible also forfeit the benefits of access to wider markets, increased employee confidence and lower staff turnover rates. However, the route to diversity crosses a legal minefield populated by equality legislation.
