Policies

Equal Opportunities Policy

The purpose of this policy is to ensure equal opportunities for all workers, job applicants, clients and customers, irrespective of race, colour, ethnic or national origin. We value a diverse customer base and the individuality and creativity that every worker potentially brings to the workforce.

Operating principles

Workers, job applicants, visitors, clients and customers will be treated fairly, openly and honestly, and with dignity and respect.

No job applicant or worker will receive less favourable treatment on grounds of race, colour, ethnic or national origin.

Equality of opportunity is about good employment practice and makes sound business sense. Steps will be taken to make sure all business practices ensure equal opportunities.

Recruitment, training and promotion opportunities will be made as widely available as possible.

Selection criteria for employment, training and promotion opportunities will be entirely related to the job.

Employment decisions on recruitment, promotion and training will be made solely on the basis of merit.

Everyone has the right to work and do business in an environment free of unlawful discrimination and harassment. We will not tolerate such behaviour under any circumstances.

Disciplinary action, including dismissal, may be taken against any worker found responsible for harassment or discrimination.

Any worker or trainee who believes he or she is being discriminated against, victimised or harassed should raise the matter through the company’s complaints procedure.

This policy is fully supported by the Administrative Manager. We will ensure that all our workers, customers and clients are aware of the policy, and that they understand that they are responsible for observing it.

Our racial equality plan outlines the steps we will take to give effect to this policy.

We will monitor the action plan and review the progress we have made each year, to make sure the policy is achieving its aims.
