Diversity Policy

Labcold is dedicated to ensuring equality of opportunity in all our employment practices, policies and procedures. No employee or potential employee will receive less favourable treatment based on gender, age, sexual orientation, marital status, religion, nationality, ethnicity or disability. While we strictly adhere to current legislation, our goal is to go beyond compliance, adopting best practices to ensure fairness for all. Every employee is responsible for upholding this policy, with managers and supervisors ensuring its ongoing implementation.

Diversity policy – Key points

General

No employee or potential employee will receive less favourable treatment due to their gender, age, marital status, religion, nationality, ethnic origin, disability or sexual orientation

Recruitment and selection

Recruitment advertising must encourage applications from all suitably qualified and experienced people, and not unfairly exclude any group.

Selection processes must ensure applicants are assessed against objective criteria for the job.
Vacancies will generally be advertised internally to give employees the same opportunity as external candidates.

Work organisation

Access to work opportunities will be determined by capability, flexibility and experience, and work will be allocated on the basis of objective criteria.

When approving overtime, holidays or employment benefits, and when allocating unsociable hours, managers will do so in a way which neither favours nor benefits any employee or group.

All reasonable modifications to work organisation will be made where an employee becomes unable, through disability to do their current job. Or, where practicable, a suitable alternative position may be found.

Training and development

Access to training and development opportunities will be according to business needs.
No training activity will reinforce prejudice, stereotyping or discrimination

Harassment

Bullying and harassment in any form will not be tolerated. Any employee failing to comply with this will be dealt with under the disciplinary procedure.
