COLD SPRING

I’m getting really cheesed-off with much of the UK press framing diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility (DEIA) through an unmistakably American lens. The language is imported wholesale — “affirmative action”, “quotas”, “positive discrimination”, “lowering the bar”.  However; the UK doesn’t operate under anything resembling the US affirmative action model that the Trump Administration is railing against.

As the UK government moves ahead with its new Employee Rights Bill, I’ve been seeing a raft of articles and comms aimed at employers and HR departments, effectively telling them they need to get their collective act together.
