Seeking to address how best to create a strong and robust system that will promote workplace fairness, the Tripartite Committee on Workplace Fairness (the “Committee“) was formed in July 2021. The Committee released its interim report on 13 February 2023. The Committee’s interim report contains 20 recommendations to enhance workplace fairness. Notably, the Committee recommends that legislation be enacted to implement its recommendations to tackle workplace discrimination. It is proposed that the legislation will run in unison with the Tripartite Guidelines on Fair Employment Practices. Any feedback to the recommendations set out in the Committee’s interim report should be submitted by 13 March 2023.
This Update outlines the recommendations made in the Committee’s interim report and considers the steps that employers should consider in order to remain fair employers.
