EMPLOYMENT EQUALITY GRANT SCHEME – applications now being accepted
Adare Human Resource Management is working with the Equality Authority to promote Equality and Diversity within Organisations.
Through a Grant Scheme that has been in place since 2003, we have successfully worked with in excess of 200 Organisations throughout the country under the Grant Scheme/Equality Initiative.
This scheme is available at no financial cost to employers.
This Scheme is available for qualifying Organisations (private organizations that have between 50 – 250 employees) to get professional advice to assist in the development/review/ implementation of Employment Equality policies and procedures and to deliver training to managers and employees.
This is a great opportunity for Organisations to avail of professional advice on implementing / developing / reviewing policies to suit your organisational needs.
The support provided covers:
- Drafting / Reviewing Equal Opportunities and Dignity at Work Policies;
- Drafting / Reviewing Harassment and Sexual Harassment Policies;
- Putting in place / Updating Legislative Leave policies such as maternity, parental, force majeure leave and Non-Legislative Leave such as paternity and compassionate leave;
- Ensuring Equality within Recruitment and Selection procedures;
- Management Training on Equality, Harassment and Sexual Harassment;
- Employee Awareness Sessions on Equality and Dignity at Work.
