Monitoring and Review
The Company will monitor and review the effectiveness of its equality, diversity and inclusion strategy on a regular basis and in accordance with changes in the law. In particular, the Company will monitor the ethnic and gender composition of the existing workforce and of applicants for jobs (including promotion) and the number of people with disabilities within these groups. The Company will also review its Equality, Diversity and Inclusion policy in accordance with the results shown by the monitoring. If changes are required, the Company will implement them. Information provided by job applicants and for monitoring purposes will be used only for these purposes and will be dealt in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998.
Grievances
If an employee considers that he or she has been unlawfully discriminated against, he or she may use the Company grievance procedure to make a complaint. The Company will take any complaint seriously and will seek to resolve any grievance. An employee will not be penalised for raising a grievance even if the grievance is not upheld, unless the complaint is both untrue and made in bad faith. Use of the Company’s grievance procedure does not affect an employee’s right to make a complaint to an employment tribunal.
Employee Responsibilities
Every employee is required to assist the Company to meet its commitment to provide equal opportunities in employment and avoid unlawful discrimination. Employees can be held personally liable as well as, or instead of, the Company for any act of unlawful discrimination. Employees who commit serious acts of harassment may be guilty of a criminal offence. Acts of discrimination, harassment, bullying or victimisation against employees or customers are disciplinary offences, and will be dealt with under the Company’s disciplinary policy and procedure. Discrimination, harassment, bullying or victimisation constitute gross misconduct and could lead to dismissal without notice.
Customers, Suppliers and Other People Not Employed by the Company
The Company will seek to work with customers and suppliers who share our equality, diversity and inclusion ethos. The Company will not discriminate unlawfully against customers using or seeking to use facilities or services provided by the Company. Employees should report any bullying or harassment by customers, suppliers, visitors or others to their manager who will take appropriate action.
Training
The Company will provide training in equal opportunities to all employees. The Company will provide appropriate training to all existing and new employees and others engaged to work at the Company, to help them understand their rights and responsibilities and what they can do to help create a working environment free from any form of discrimination, bullying and harassment and any other infringements of equality of opportunity.
The Company will monitor the ethnic, gender and age composition of the existing workforce and of applications for jobs (including promotion), and the number of people with disabilities within these groups, and will consider and take any appropriate action to address any problems that may be identified as a result of the monitoring process.
The Company cannot lawfully discriminate in the selection of employees for recruitment or promotion, but the Company may use appropriate lawful methods, including lawful positive action, to address the under-representation of any group which the Company identifies as being under-represented in particular types of job.
The Company will consider any possible indirectly discriminatory effect of its standard working practices, including the number of hours to be worked, the times at which these are to be worked and the place at which work is to be done, when considering requests for variations to these standard working practices, and will refuse such requests only if the Company considers it has valid reasons for doing so. The Company will comply with its obligations in relation to statutory requests for contract variations. The Company will also make reasonable adjustments to its standard working practices to overcome barriers caused by disability.
Selection for employment, promotion, training or any other benefit will be on the basis of aptitude and ability. All employees will be helped and encouraged to develop their full potential and the talents and resources of the workforce will be fully utilised to maximise the efficiency of the organisation.
Person and job specifications will be limited to those requirements that are necessary for the effective performance of the job. Candidates for employment or promotion will be assessed objectively against the requirements for the job, taking account of any reasonable adjustments that may be required for candidates with a disability.
It is unlawful to treat someone less favourably on grounds of disability than others without that disability are or would be treated, unless the favourable treatment can be justified, or to fail to make reasonable adjustments to overcome barriers to using services caused by disability. The duty to make reasonable
adjustments includes the removal, adaptation or alteration of physical features, if the physical features make it impossible or unreasonably difficult for disabled people to make use of services. Some types of harassment or bullying will be unlawful discrimination. It is unlawful to victimise someone because he/she has alleged unlawful discrimination or supported someone to make a complaint or given evidence in relation to a complaint.
EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY IN EMPLOYMENT
All employees, whether part-time, full-time or temporary, will be treated fairly and with respect.
Our business diversity strategy has to continue to reflect that shift if we are to remain a key player and critically, to maintain our increasing share of the market in which we operate. We also believe that morally, it is the right thing to do hence the Company’s strategy is to embed equality, diversity and inclusion in all areas of the organisation.
BACKGROUND
An integral element of the strategy is the Company Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Policy. In summary: It is unlawful to discriminate directly or indirectly in recruitment or employment on grounds of sex, gender reassignment, pregnancy, colour, race, nationality or ethnic origins, sexual orientation or religion or belief, or because someone is married or is a civil partner.
Equality, Diversity & Inclusion Policy
PURPOSE
The Company is committed to providing equality of opportunity in employment and to encouraging diversity and inclusion within its workforce. Each employee has the right to work in an environment that is free from direct and indirect discrimination and one in which individual differences and contributions are recognised and valued. The Company will not tolerate any form of intimidation, bullying or harassment by promoting an environment in which there is dignity and respect for all.
Network (NDIL) recognises that over the next five years the UK’s demographic profile will change and we shall become a truly multi-cultural society.
