Abstract
Purpose – This paper is aimed to fulfil two purposes. First, this paper aims to review the literature and
examine step by step evolution of the Equality Act 2010. Second, this paper will reflect on the guidelines
issued for employers by the Equality and Human Rights Commission to address how to manage the risks
arising during the current crisis and as organisations continue with planning for eventual return to the
workplace and for those who are currently working remotely.
Design/methodology/approach – This paper has incorporated an integrative literature review reviews
approach that aimed to synthesises secondary data about the literature to serve the aims of the paper in an
integrated way.
Findings – The introduction of the Equality Act (2010) has made it much more difficult to discriminate against
individuals as its coverage is much wider in comparison to any previous legislation. At that point, there were still
many exceptions, which permitted discrimination and unequal treatment towards others. Over time, however, the
law has become much more strict and developed to counter any discrimination in its attempt to try and eliminate it.
Originality/value – This paper has reflected on both pre- and post-covid developments of The Equality
Act (2010) – and discrimination issues for employers.
