HARVEY LAWRENCE - ENSURING FAIRNESS FOR ALL AT WORK
Equal opportunity is at the heart of what we do
Harvey Lawrence is an equal opportunities employer. Our equality policy goes further than the law requires in promoting fairness at work. We believe that the nature of our work as recruitment consultants means that we have a duty to uphold equal opportunities aims and make them a reality. Equal opportunity is important to Harvey Lawrence and is at the heart of what we do.
Equally favourable treatment
No job applicant or employee will receive less favourable treatment in any aspect of employment on grounds of racial difference, gender, religion, disability, marital status, age, sexual orientation, or caring responsibilities, or be disadvantaged by conditions or requirements that cannot be shown to be justifiable.
Building on statutory requirements
The aim of Harvey Lawrence’s policy is to pursue an effective policy of promoting equal opportunity throughout our business and to build upon statutory requirements.
The statutory position is set out in the Sex Discrimination Act (1975); the Equal Pay Act (1970); the Race Relations Act (1976); the Disability Discrimination Act (1995), the Employment Relations Act (1999) and the Human Rights Act (1998).
Reflecting and celebrating diversity
Harvey Lawrence will not tolerate unlawful discrimination whether direct, indirect or institutional, against any person in recruitment, selection, training, promotion, or in any aspect of employment. We wish to reflect the diversity of people, partners and cultures within which we operate.
Zero tolerance
Harassment of any kind at work is also a form of discrimination and will be treated as such under the terms of our policy. No form of harassment or bullying, including derogatory remarks at work, will be tolerated. Cases will be dealt with under Harvey Lawrence’s Harassment & Bullying Policy
Ensuring that policy becomes reality
All equal opportunity policies are monitored and assessed to ensure that the aims are a reality for all at Harvey Lawrence and to ensure that individuals are recruited, selected, trained and treated in all other respects on the basis of their relevant merits and abilities.
All employees shall be given equality of opportunity and encouragement to progress within the organisation, in line with their skills and potential.
