It is the policy of Videcom Ltd to recruit and hire persons for employment in all jobs without discrimination because of gender, sexual orientation, marital or civil partner status, gender reassignment, race, religion or belief, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin, disability or age, pregnancy or trade union membership or the fact that they are a part-time worker or a fixed-term employee. It is also the policy of the Company to provide a work environment that is free from any form of harassment.
It is our policy to comply with the Equalities Act 2010 and to ensure equality and fairness to all employees regardless of gender, sexual orientation, marital or civil partner status, gender reassignment, race, religion or belief, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin, disability or age, pregnancy or trade union membership or the fact that they are a part-time worker or a fixed-term employee.
Furthermore, all people employed by the Company shall be afforded the opportunity to advance to positions of greater responsibility and authority based upon their skills and ability to perform the work required.
Opportunities for education, training, promotion, transfer, or any other benefit of employment, shall not be compromised because of gender, sexual orientation, marital or civil partner status, gender reassignment, race, religion or belief, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin, disability or age, pregnancy or trade union membership or the fact that they are a part-time worker or a fixed-term employee.
This policy, and the measures we take to implement it, have been devised based on advice from the relevant government and professional bodies. The policy will conform with the Codes of Practice, as issued by the Commission for Racial Equality and Equal Opportunity Commission and the Employers' Forum on Disability Ten Points for Action and any other future Codes of Practice relating to employment.
This Policy will ensure that there are no divisions of labour or responsibility based on grounds of employee's sex or racial origin, other than where sex or racial origin is a genuine occupation qualification.
The principle of non-discrimination and equality of opportunity applies equally to the treatment of visitors, clients, customers, and suppliers by members of our workforce and, in some circumstances, ex-employees. The Company is committed to a programme of action to ensure the effective implementation and review of this policy. Contractors working on Company premises or delivering services on behalf of Videcom Ltd will be expected to comply with good equal opportunities practices.
The Policy will be reviewed on a regular basis.
