Description

Research conducted by CIPD and partner organisations found that a large proportion of employees perceive that their organisations regularly treat people unfairly in some respects. Some say that rules, policies and procedures are not consistently applied, while others feel that rewards, resources and workload are unfairly distributed. A good majority complain about ineffective consultation before decisions affecting them are implemented. The trend is towards greater perceptions of unfairness rather than less.

i. Explain why these findings should be a matter of concern for HR professionals. What is the impact upon the workforce of disparity of treatment? Is disparity of treatment inevitable and is it always necessarily a good or bad thing?)
