Abstract

The UK government's plan to protect employees from unfair dismissal from their first day in a new job may hinder diverse hiring practices, according to employment experts. The proposed policy, part of a bill debated in Parliament, could lead to unintended consequences such as reduced opportunities for underrepresented candidates. While the government aims to improve worker rights and foster economic growth, concerns have been raised about the potential impact on diversity and inclusion efforts in the workforce.
