HR Staffing | The Importance of Legal Compliance

Organizations comply with employment and staffing laws which are highly critical to demonstrate basic moral and ethical values and also from the legal perspective. Diversity is one characteristic by which organizations capitalize from getting negative public relations or from getting caught on legal litigations. Having a diverse workforce helps employees to perform better because the focus is more on performance and merit. Employment laws and regulations exist in every country because the employer decides on his company’s structure, the employment relationship and other principles, procedures related to staffing and employment to achieve business strategy.

Unfair treatment or discrimination is a result of certain employment decisions that are not based on relevant job-knowledge, skills, abilities and so forth by the employer. The discrimination is quickly evident on pay, promotions, and benefits for an employee and discriminatory practices are the result of physical disability, sex, race, religion, ethnicity, etc. or on lack of awareness found in employees. Unlawful employment practices are discriminatory in nature because they treat the people with unfair means on the basis of characteristics, protected by law.

and Labour Codes, legislation concerning public associations and social dialogue.
