Diversity & inclusion

As part of our commitment to diversity and inclusion, we have been committed to leading an aggressive training campaign aimed at promotion of equality within the workplace.

These sessions have been across various platforms to familiarise our audience with current practices, implementation of equality across the board and changes bought forward by the UAE legislation on pay disparity in the region.

Many employers in the region are unaware of these important legislative changes but were conscious that pay disparity is an important issue and it was key that this was addressed which had the impact of widening the gender pay gap.

On the back of our training, we have assisted companies in the region start the process of salary benchmarking and adopting fair grading structures based on merit.

Our initiative looks to encourage change in the norms of pay disparity among local and multinational companies in the region and our training sessions provide an insight on the current practices and legislation.

We were delighted to be the first firm in the UAE to host a course based on gender and equal pay that is also an accredited course accepted to train legal practitioners in the UAE.

What do we do?

As a result of our equal pay initiative, our employment team has supported companies with workplace practices on equal opportunities. We have conducted an assessment on pay disparity in these companies and have been working towards reviewing and improving the salary benchmarking and standardised benefits for all employees in those companies.

We are also able to support organisations on tackling unconscious bias in the workplace. Our training session focusing on tackling unconscious bias is a course accredited by the Legal Affairs Department.
