๐จ Youโre discriminating on grounds of sex.You just donโt know it yet.
Most employers wonโt admit to bias.
But thatโs not the point.
You donโt have to mean it.
You just have to let it happen.
Under the
Equality Act 2010, discrimination
doesnโt need to be deliberate.
It can be
indirect.It can be
cultural.It can be
systemic.And if someone brings a claim?
Intent wonโt matter.
Impact will.
Hereโs how you might be discriminatingโright now:โณ You approve flexible working for dads, but deny it to mums โbecause theyโll need too much time offโ
โณ You pay a male hire more because he negotiated harder - even though the role is identical
โณ You tell women to โbe more confidentโ in meetings, but ignore the men who dominate them
โณ You ask women how theyโll manage the role with kids - but never ask men the same
โณ You hold back promotion from a woman on maternity leave until sheโs โback and settledโ
โณ You make assumptions about how โavailableโ someone will be based on gendered expectations
No one wrote this down.
But it happened.
Being ethical isn't about doing the bare minimum. It's about creating a culture where employees thrive and your business wins in the long run.
Ask yourself: Are your policies fair, transparent, and genuinely caring? Or are they just legal cover-ups?
If you want your business to stand out, start by making ethics your foundation.
Because leadership isnโt just about rules - itโs about humanity and impact.
Are you ready to lead with purpose, not just policy?
Make ethics your ultimate competitive advantage.
