EQUALITY AND DIVERSITY POLICY

AlexSys is committed to ensuring equality and diversity is adhered to in all aspects of its business, particularly recruitment, promotions and training.

AlexSys will not tolerate discrimination on any of the following grounds:

• by treating an individual on grounds of sex, colour, marital status, sexual orientation, race, nationality or ethnic or national origin, or membership or non-membership of a trade union, night worker, less favourably than others;
• by expecting an individual on the above grounds to comply with requirements for any reason whatsoever related to their employment, which are different to the requirements for others;
• by victimisation of an employee;
• by harassment of an employee;
• by imposing work that is more onerous on one employee than on others; or
• by any other act, or omission of an act, which has as its effect the disadvantaging of an employee or applicant against another, or others, purely on the above grounds.

It is the policy of the organisation to ensure that entry into the organisation is determined solely by the application of objective criteria and individual merit.

Equality will be accorded to applicants and employees without regard to disability, race, religion, gender, marital status, sexual orientation, colour, national or ethnic origin.

The objective of the organisation is to employ individuals who are suitably qualified or who have the ability to develop the skills necessary to undertake the obligations imposed by the position they occupy.

Harassment or victimisation at work will not be overlooked or condoned. Such behaviour will be considered a serious disciplinary matter.

Accordingly the Technical Director accepts overall responsibility for policy formulation and implementation. The Technical Director will ensure that this policy is adhered to by all members of staff.
