The Legal Risk Score of a Diversity Policy Template
Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:
- The policy relies on the proactive participation of workers to provide feedback and raise grievances, which may result in underreporting if workers do not feel empowered or safe to speak up.
- The effectiveness of the policy is contingent on the management’s commitment to enforce and review the diversity strategies, which could lead to inconsistencies if not uniformly applied or if management changes.
- The policy sets out to address unconscious bias and systemic barriers without specifying detailed methods for identifying or remedying these issues, which might limit the effectiveness of these initiatives.
