Transparency has been demonstrated as one of the effıcient strategies in
many areas. It is also used by governments to regulate corporate entities. The UK
government may be an important example in this regard. The government
implements disclosure requirements in different fields of law, such as
corporate law, employment law and human rights law. Employees are significant
stakeholders mentioned in these disclosure schemes. Undoubtedly, disclosure
plays a role in improving and protecting the interests of employees in the UK.
However, to what extent can disclosure regime in the UK improve the interests
of employees? In response to this question, the current paper sheds light upon
different areas of law to discover the role of disclosure regulations in improving
and protecting the interests of employees. By doing this, the paper aims to
show how most disclosure requirements in the country fall short in making corporations
respect employees.
