Taken literally, human resources are your employees. The HR function has an extremely wide scope - from hiring to firing and everything in between. Anything which affects your employees falls under the HR umbrella, whether that be business strategies or policies, right down to individual employees and their specific issues. The benefits of employing an HR consultancy service for the first time are discussed in more detail on our Why HR? page.
Check this link for details on average payouts made on the six different types of discrimination in 2010/2011. The lowest average payout relates to religion at £8,515, with the highest average in connection with age at £30,289. Across all categories, the average stands at £15,105. Add to this the average cost of defending a claim, regardless of the outcome, stands at an estimated £4,000 (BIS assessment), although other estimates stand at around £8,000.
