Training 2000 Equality and Diversity Policy

Training 2000 Limited is fully committed to the principles of equality and diversity in employment and training. We will aim to ensure that no employee or applicant for employment is treated less favourably on the grounds of colour, race, age, nationality or ethnic origin, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, creed, offender background or marital status or any other condition which cannot be shown to be justifiable.

The Company recognises the benefits that can be secured through employing a diverse workforce and harnessing the individual talents of staff from different backgrounds and with different skills. These include:

• Tangible business benefits such as improved staff morale, absence levels, customer satisfaction and profits 
• An improved company image leading to a wider customer base and a wider pool of people to recruit from 
• The avoidance of costly legal proceedings caused by breaches of equality legislation

We are committed to providing fair and equal treatment for all staff and all staff are expected to treat everyone with whom they come into contact with dignity and respect, please see the Company’s Dignity at Work Policy and Procedure, PR/HR.15.

All complaints of discriminatory behaviour, including harassment or bullying, will be treated seriously and investigated expeditiously and with confidentiality and sensitivity. Such activities will be regarded as grounds for disciplinary action, which could include dismissal.
