Team Member Handbook

What About Me?

Equal Opportunities Policy We employ people because of their individual skills and abilities and it is our policy that there shall be no discrimination in respect of age, disability, religious belief, gender, sexual orientation, race, colour, marital status, political belief and nationality, or any other category as defined by law, and that equality of opportunity shall be given to everyone. In Recruitment The best candidate for the job is appointed regardless of age, disability, religious belief, gender, sexual orientation, race, colour, marital status, political belief and nationality, or any other category as defined by law. No job applicant or Team Member will receive less favourable treatment than another on grounds of age, disability, religious belief, gender, sexual orientation, race, colour, marital status, political belief and nationality, or any other category as defined by law. In the same way, no applicant or Team Member is subject to a detriment because of a provision, criterion or practice placed upon them which would have a discriminatory effect on his or her racial group or gender.

In Learning and Development Career development is based on performance and ability.

Advancement is available to all employees irrespective of age, disability, religious belief, gender, sexual orientation, race, colour, marital status, political belief and nationality, or any other category as defined by law.

Monitoring To ensure the effectiveness of our Equal Opportunities Policy, we: • Communicate the policy to all Team Members • Regularly review existing procedures in order to maintain the effectiveness of this policy and carry out whatever modifications are judged necessary
