Equality and Diversity Statement
Valuing Differences in the Community
Amicus ITS Limited believes that diversity enriches performance and service delivery, the communities where we live and work, and the lives of employees. As the workforce evolves to reflect the growing diversity of the community and the national marketplace, our efforts to understand, value, and incorporate differences become increasingly important.
Amicus ITS Limited wholeheartedly supports the principle of equal opportunities & diversity in employment and opposes all forms of unlawful or unfair discrimination on the grounds of gender, race, nationality, ethnic or national origin, religion or belief, sex, marital status, age, social background, part time working, sexual orientation, disability or creed. Amicus ITS Limited endeavours to create a supportive working environment based on mutual respect and trust to assist employees to reach their full potential, regardless of race, nationality, ethnic or national origins, marital status, disability, gender, religion or belief, sexual orientation, age or for any other reason.
This policy applies to job applicants (both internal and external) and all employees whether full time, part time, casual or temporary contract. The policy also applies equally to the treatment of the organisation’s customers, clients, suppliers, contractors or consultants. Amicus ITS Limited will aim to ensure that no job applicant or employee is discriminated against either directly or indirectly. To this end, within the framework of the law, we are committed, wherever practicable, to achieving and maintaining a workforce that broadly reflects the local community in which we operate.
The Company works hard to think inclusively, value differences, and provide the necessary tools to give each employee a chance to do his or her best work. This approach has resulted in fresh ideas, creative problem solving and a productive environment as we focus on the business partners with whom we work, the processes and practices we use, the innovative services we develop, and Amicus ITS Limited’s’ growing workforce.
We believe it is in Amicus ITS Limited’s’ best interests, and those who work within the organisation, to ensure that the human resources, talents and skills available throughout the community generally are considered when employment opportunities arise.
Every possible step will be taken to ensure that individuals are treated equally and fairly and that decisions on recruitment, training, promotion and career development are based solely on objective and job related criteria.
The Management Team, senior managers and team leaders fully support this policy statement. Which is available to all employees at their place of work.
