Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to report on a research day on the theme of diversity, held at the Centre for Employment Studies Research, University of the West of England. The report is based upon observations, notes and discussions of papers presented that represent work in progress on a range of diversity issues, specifically ethnicity, gender, age and disability. The presentations highlighted the mixed outcomes of anti-discrimination legislation in the context of organisational objectives and practices and individual worker attitudes.
