About This Webinar

Workplace discrimination law in Ireland has developed rapidly in recent years, driven by European Union directives and evolving employment standards. What began as legislation focused on gender equality has now expanded to cover a wide range of characteristics and workplace scenarios.

In this live session, Caroline Jenkinson, former Deputy Chairman of the Labour Court, will explain how Ireland’s Employment Equality Acts apply in practice, helping employers and HR professionals understand their legal responsibilities and reduce the risk of discrimination claims.

The session will provide practical guidance for HR teams, business owners, and managers on maintaining compliance, updating internal policies, and ensuring fair and consistent treatment across the workforce.
