Legal-Island supports a new initiative by the four main employer representative bodies (Northern Ireland Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Confederation of British industry, Federation of Small Businesses and the Institute of Directors) and the trade union movement in Northern Ireland to encourage workplace inclusiveness.

All employees are entitled to a workplace free from bullying, intimidation, harassment or victimisation; to be treated with dignity, respect and courtesy; to experience no form of unlawful discrimination; and to be valued for their skills and abilities.

On 26 October 2017, at the Spires Conference Centre, Assembly Buildings, Belfast, the NI Employment Relations Roundtable launched the Joint Declaration of Protection (for Dignity at Work and Inclusive Working Environment).
