Equal Opportunities Policy

 

 

 

John Cornell Builders Limited wishes it to be known that it is an equal opportunities employer.  This means that:

 

q       We will ensure equality of opportunity and treatment for all persons.

 

q       No person or group of persons applying for employment or for contracts with us will be treated less favourably than any other person or group of persons because of their race, colour, age, sex, sexual orientation, religion, disability, political views or marital status.

 

q       In carrying out our equal opportunities policy, we will actively assist all groups to benefit from our services.

 

q       We will seek to identify the needs of disadvantaged minority groups in our area of operation by establishing close relationships with those groups.

 

q       As an employer, we will seek actively to employ staff from all groups.  Where necessary, we will provide special training facilities to enable them to complete or qualify for position in the Company.

 

q       To help us fulfil our commitment to equal opportunity, we will collect and monitor records of the ethnic / racial origin of all those seeking employment from our Company.

 

q       In hiring subcontractors and other agencies to work for us, we will be mindful of our commitment to equal opportunity.

 

q       In the composition and operation of our management, the Directors will be mindful of their commitment to equal opportunity.

 

q       Failure to comply with the Company’s Equal Opportunity Policy insofar as that will or may result in acts of discrimination will be regarded as a disciplinary offence.

 

q       The Directors responsible for the policy’s overall implementation are Mr. John Cornell and Mr. Michael Burke.
