 FDBE is committed to equal opportunities. Each person’s ability, experience, qualifications and potential are important to the Company, and it is appropriate that we use these criteria when we decide who to employ and how to reward our staff. However, it would clearly be wrong for the Company to discriminate between people on matters, which do not affect their work – such as sex, marital status, race, ethnic origin, religion, disablement or sexual orientation.
The Company believes that everyone should be treated with the same respect and dignity and wishes positively to encourage a culture of equal opportunities for all, in which success depends on personal merit and performance.
To this end the Company’s policy and practice require that entry into the Company and progression within it will be determined solely by personal merit and the application of criteria which are related to the effective performance of the job and the needs of the business. No applicant or employee will be treated less favourably than another because of their sex, marital status, race, ethnic origin, religion, disablement or sexual orientation.
It is our intention that every employee should be fully informed and trained to do their immediate job and have the opportunity personally to develop further and to pursue opportunities consistent with their abilities. Moreover, every manager is responsible for ensuring that this policy is actively pursued and put into practice.
We are therefore committed to providing equal opportunities for all existing and future members of staff. This will ensure that we make the best use of our workforce and that we employ the best people to maintain our competitive edge.
Any breach of our policy on equal opportunities will be taken very seriously and is likely to result in disciplinary action.
