Employment

 

It is this Company's policy to treat job applicants and employees in the same way, regardless of their sex, race, ethnic origin, colour, nationality, disability, marital status, religion, belief, age or sexual orientation. The Company is committed to this Equal Opportunities Policy and all employees are required to co-operate with its efforts to ensure that the Policy is implemented in full.

 

 

In principle the Company seeks wherever possible to grow its own talent from entry level through internal development. Where we are unable to recruit suitable candidates internally, the Company seeks to recruit quality individuals from the external labour market that will bring valuable experience and knowledge to the Company.

 

The Company uses a variety of selection tools depending on the roles being recruited for, including competency based interviewing, assessment centres and psychometric profiling to maximise the possibility of ensuring a right fit for both the Company and the candidate.

 

 

The Company is committed to ensuring that individuals have the appropriate skills and knowledge to carry out their role. Through carrying out a full year performance review and a mid year review, employees are encouraged to discuss their training needs with their manager to identify key development areas and methods to address those needs.

 

 

The Company has a duty under the Health & Safety at Work Act to ensure, so far as reasonably practicable, the health, safety and welfare at work of all employees. The Company will take appropriate action wherever and whenever substance abuse may, in the Company’s view, be a threat to the performance of this duty.

 

No employee will be permitted to work in a state of intoxication or under the influence of drugs, or other substances, not only in their own interests but in the interest of their working colleagues. Non compliance will lead to disciplinary action which can include dismissal.

 

In order to enforce this policy, the Company carries out random alcohol and drugs testing using an independent organisation.

 

 

The Company is committed to ensuring that the personal information of its employees is kept securely with appropriate access given to individuals according to their job function. Employees processing personal data should endeavour to achieve the highest level of accuracy in the receipt, use, storage and destruction of personal data and to ensure that’s such personal data is current, up to date and security stored.
