Equal Opportunities Policy

Hargreaves Contracting Ltd is an equal opportunities employer. The aim of our policy is to ensure that no job applicant or employee receives less favourable treatment on the basis of gender, race, disability, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin, marital status, sexuality, responsibility for dependants, religion, trade union activity and age.

All our employees will be given equality of opportunity within the company and will be encouraged to progress within the organisation. To ensure that no direct or indirect discrimination is occurring, recruitment and other employment decisions will be regularly monitored in conjunction with ethnicity, gender, disability records of job applicants and existing employees.


 

The company is committed to a programme of action to make this policy fully effective and we will put this policy into practice by ensuring the recruitment, selection, training, promotion, discipline and dismissal of staff is on the basis of merit and ability of the employee. We will ensure that no employee is subject to victimisation, discrimination and harassment and making it clear that these are disciplinary offences.

We will endeavour to ensure the workplace is accessible and managed to suit the needs of all staff, employees and subcontractors as far as is reasonably possible and that all employees know and understand the policy.
