We recognise the enormous benefits of capitalising on the skills and talents inherent in all segments of the community and are committed to the principles of equal opportunity and anti-discrimination to ensure that all employees (both present and potential) are given an equal chance to contribute and share in the success of the business.
The Company is committed to ensuring that regardless of gender, race, colour, physical or intellectual impairment or disability, religion, age, sexual preference, family and care responsibilities, marital status, pregnancy, potential pregnancy, political beliefs, national/ethnic origin, trade union activity, criminal or medical record, individuals or groups will not be disadvantaged or treated unfairly.
We will ensure that:
- Our employees work in a non-hostile environment
- You are not treated less favourably because of your membership of a certain group (either by choice or default) and stereotyped beliefs about the behaviours and capacities of that group (direct discrimination);
- Policies, practices and procedures which may appear neutral in effect, do not have an unequal or disproportionate effect on particular groups (indirect discrimination);
- Our employees are made aware of what constitutes discriminatory practices and what complaint mechanisms are available, through appropriate training and communication of Company standards and policy.
These principles will apply in all phases of employment such as recruitment, promotion, training, reward and remuneration, termination and the provision of all goods and services.
