Equal Opportunities Employment Policy

The Whittan Group is committed to eliminating discrimination amongst our workforce. Our aim is that everyone in our workforce feels respected and able to give of their best. To this end the purpose of this policy is to provide equality, diversity and fairness for all in our employment and not to discriminate on grounds of gender, marital status, race, ethnic origin, colour, national origin, disability, sexuality religion or age. We oppose all forms of unlawful and unfair discrimination.

All employees, whether part-time, full-time or temporary, will be treated fairly and with respect. 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 fully utilised to maximise the efficiency of the organisation.

Our Commitment:

• Every employee is entitled to a working environment that promotes dignity and respect to all. No form of intimidation, bullying or harassment will be tolerated.
• Training, development and progression opportunities are available to all employees based on aptitude and ability.
• Quality in the workplace is a good management practice and makes sound business sense.
• We will regularly review all our employment practices and procedures to ensure fairness.
• Breaches of our equality policy will be regarded as misconduct and could lead to disciplinary proceedings.
