Equality and Diversity Policy

SC Services recognises that developing a diverse workforce is critical in building our organisational capability and maintaining a high level of performance. Diversity may result from a range of factors including place of origin, age, gender, cultural heritage, education, physical ability, appearance, language and family responsibilities.

Discrimination is an unacceptable practice which is contrary to the spirit and intent of this policy. Equal opportunity in employment is a responsibility that exists throughout the term of the employment relationship and includes recruitment, training and professional development and promotion. SC Services is committed to ensuring that all employees are treated fairly and with dignity and respect.

SCS achieves this by:

• Recruiting and managing based on a person’s competence and performance.
• Creating a culture that empowers and rewards people to act in accordance with this policy.
• Valuing and respecting the skills, experiences and perspectives each individual brings to the workplace.
• Ensuring we have clear reporting processes and procedures in place.
• Creating an inclusive, productive and safe work environment by taking action to prevent and stop discrimination, harassment and bullying.

Managing diversity is underpinned by our company values and is a key accountability of our managers and a shared responsibility of every employee and contractor engaged in activities under SC Services control.
