Employers are increasingly facing complex challenges when managing a diverse workforce, especially when it comes to issues surrounding protected beliefs under the UK Equality Act 2010.

One of the most challenging areas is balancing the rights of employees who hold gender-critical beliefs with the rights of transgender employees. This issue has sparked significant debate and legal cases in recent years, making it critical for organisations to understand how to manage these sensitive situations effectively and in compliance with the law.
