Anti-Racist Workplace Week, 5th-11th November 2007 - Nov '07

The Equality Authority launched its Anti-Racist Workplace Week on Monday 5th November. Apart from events taking place during the week, information on the benefits of fostering equality and diversity, and steps an employer can take to promote equality and diversity in the workplace are also available from the Equality Authority.

The aim of Anti-Racist Workplace Week is to support organisations to:

• Be free from discrimination and harassment;
• Welcome all ethnic and racial backgrounds (including members of the Travelling Community) as their employees, customers and service users;
• Provide for cultural and linguistic diversity among employees and customers;
• Take practical steps to achieve equality in practice;
• Communicate the message of promoting racial and ethnic equality within the wider community.
