This below policy sets out Alliance Combined Services’ approach to equality and diversity. We are committed to promoting equality and diversity and promoting a culture that actively values difference and recognises that people from different backgrounds and experiences can bring valuable insights to the workplace and enhance the way we work.
Our aim is to be an inclusive organisation, committed to providing equal opportunities throughout employment including in the recruitment, training and development of employees, and to pro-actively tackling and eliminating discrimination.
We consider that equality means breaking down barriers, eliminating discrimination and ensuring equal opportunities and access for all groups both in employment, and to goods and services.
We consider diversity to mean celebrating difference and valuing everyone. Each person is an individual with visible and non-visible differences and by respecting this everyone can feel valued for their contributions which is beneficial not only for the individual but for the Company too.
We acknowledge that equality and diversity are not inter-changeable but inter-dependent. There can be no equality of opportunity if difference is not valued and harnessed.
Every employee is entitled to a working environment that promotes dignity, equality, and respect for all. The Company will not tolerate any acts of unlawful or unfair discrimination (including harassment) committed against an employee, contractor, job applicant or visitor because of a protected characteristic: sex; gender reassignment; marriage and civil partnership; pregnancy and maternity; race (including ethnic origin, colour, nationality, and national origin); disability; sexual orientation; religion and or belief; age.
All our employees are selected based on their aptitude and ability. Where possible, we will capture applicants’ diversity demographics as part of its recruitment processes to promote the elimination of unlawful discrimination.
Our employees undergo training and development activities from time to time, to encourage the promotion of the principles of this policy.
All promotion decisions are made on basis of merit and are not influenced by any of the protected characteristics listed above. Where appropriate, steps will be taken to identify and remove unnecessary or unjustifiable barriers to promotion.
The benefits, terms and conditions of employment and facilities available to Alliance Combined Services employees are reviewed on a regular basis to ensure that access is not restricted by unlawful means and to provide appropriate conditions to meet the special needs of disadvantaged or under-represented groups.
