The company is totally committed to achieving equality of opportunity and fair treatment for all persons.
The company’s Equal Opportunity Policy is as follows:
The company is committed to the principle of Equal Opportunity in employment and also to the elimination of unlawful or unfair treatment to employees or job applicants either directly or indirectly on the basis of sex, marital status, race, colour, national or ethnic origins, religion, political opinion, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, age or disability.
The company will maintain a neutral working environment in which no employee or worker feels under threat or intimidated. The policy will be implemented in accordance with the appropriate statutory requirements and full account will be taken of all available guidance and in particular any relevant Codes of Practice.
The company expects each individual employee to promote the spirit of equal opportunity by avoiding discrimination and treating others with respect and fairness. Employees or prospective employees should not be treated less favourably on the grounds of sex, marital status, race, colour, national or ethnic origins, religion , political opinion, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, age or disability in cases of recruitment, promotion, shift working, overtime or training and development.
The company will not discriminate indirectly by placing a requirement or condition on an employee or group of employees that disadvantages that or any other employee or group of employees. The company’s recruitment procedures are designed to reach eligible candidates from minority groups and to ensure that the selection process is based on the applicant’s ability to perform the job advertised.
The company will ensure that the policy is circulated to any agencies responsible for recruitment and a copy of the policy will be made available for all employees and made known to all applicants for employment.
The policy will be communicated to all private contractors reminding them of their responsibilities towards the equality of opportunity.
It is the responsibility of the Human Resources Manager to ensure that all recruitments and promotion opportunities comply with the company’s Equal Opportunity policy. Where the company discovers a particular group to be disadvantaged it will develop appropriate initiatives to eliminate any obstructions to progress.
