DE&I is the cornerstone of a thriving, innovative and equitable workforce.

Our specialists advise on a broad spectrum of diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) topics, and address some of today’s most pressing HR and legal issues.

Our DE&I services include:

  • Supporting clients to devise and roll out DE&I strategies
  • Measures to address under-representation
  • Advising on conflict in the workplace involving alleged discrimination
  • Advising on and supporting with contentious matters including complaints of discrimination, harassment and victimisation made to the Equal Opportunities Commission 

We provide strategic advice on all DE&I issues, such as handling intricate grievances, navigating discrimination risks in redundancy processes or sickness absence cases.

Our dedicated training team can provide tailored HR, manager and all-staff training on key DE&I topics, including respectful workplace behaviour, anti-harassment, unconscious bias and allyship skills. We also frequently lead sessions on family rights and flexible working, empowering organisations to foster inclusive cultures and meet their equality obligations, in Hong Kong, Asia Pacific and worldwide.

Managing conflicting beliefs

Employers are increasingly faced with employees who hold conflicting beliefs, leading to clashes in the workplace. Our team regularly support organisations to navigate the right balance between responding appropriately to non-inclusive behaviours whilst ensuring that individuals are respected at work, regardless of their beliefs. Whether it is advice on the appropriate response to an employee who has posted controversial content on social media or a relationship breakdown due to the clash of beliefs, we can guide you through the legal principles and offer tailored advice on best practice. Our culture reviews and client training provide a wide range of practical solutions, enabling you to promote your business values and helping your staff to feel that they and their views are respected.
