- The costs to an employer of non-compliance with discrimination laws, from both a financial and a reputational perspective, are likely to be high. (See The importance of compliance)
- Multinational organisations should be aware that there may be laws in the countries in which they operate around positive discrimination and positive action. (See Positive action)
- International employers that want to observe good practice could adopt consistent standards in relation to equal opportunities across their workforce. (See Managing equal opportunities across an international business)
