A few weeks ago, I caused a little discussion in my office when I said that I could see how a small business employer may not want to employ women due to the risk of them going on maternity leave.

Feel the steam rising inside you? before you explode think about what I am saying. Think about manageing risk. Think about what an employer of a small business is trying to achieve when they take on a member of staff.

And then today I read an article on the Devil’s Kitchen whihc mentions a UKIP member’s comments. Other previous posts on the devils kitchen should be equally inflamitory.

Ah, the joy of debate, eh? Of course discrimination is wrong. But life is about balances. The difficult bit is to look behind the reasons for a statement. And you are probably misunderstanding what I mean right now….
