UKPS (NW) Ltd are committed to providing equal opportunities in recruitment, training and promotion whatever the gender, marital status, social class, age, colour, race, ethnic or national origin, religious belief, sexual orientation or disability, having regard only to the individual's aptitudes and abilities for the requirements of the job. The Company believes that the talents and resources of all employees should be utilised to the full and in the best interests of the individual, the community and the organization. We will appoint, train and promote on the basis of merit and ability.
Managers have a special responsibility to ensure that the Equal Opportunities Policy is upheld. All employees are also instructed that they have personal responsibility for ensuring that no employee receives less favourable treatment on the grounds of gender, marital status, social class, age, colour, race, ethnic, or national origin, religious belief, sexual orientation, or disability, nor must any person be disadvantaged by conditions or requirements that cannot be shown to be relevant to the job.
Equality and diversity means:
* Treating people (employees, colleagues and customers) with fairness and respect.
* Making decisions about people based on their talents and abilities.
* Creating a workforce where everyone has fair access to opportunities.
* Working towards a workforce that reflects the balance in the community.
Equality and diversity does not mean:
* Treating one group better than the rest.
* Lowering standards.
* Pretending we are all the same.
