Inclusion and Diversity at RuralFibre4U

RuralFibre4U recognises that diversity and inclusion help to support creativity and innovation: they are essential ingredients in a successful tech company. We are committed to encouraging diversity and inclusion and to ensuring there is no discrimination in our company. We want our workforce to be truly representative of all sections of society. We want our business to be one in which everyone feels respected and able to give their best.

To that end this policy provides a framework of equality and fairness. It expresses our commitment not to discriminate on the grounds of age, disability, gender, gender reassignment, marital status (including civil partnerships), race, ethnic origin, colour, nationality, national origin, religion or belief and sexual orientation. We strongly oppose all forms of unlawful and unfair discrimination.

We will:

Actively seek to increase the number of people we work with who are from groups/communities that are under-represented.
Review all our formal and informal employment/hiring practices and procedures to ensure they are fair and help us to identify the best talent.
Identify and take opportunities to increase the diversity in all business decisions.
Ensure reasonable adjustments are made to enable disabled people to work in or with our company.
Actively seek to increase the diversity of our talent networks.
Create an environment in which individual differences and the contributions of all our employees are recognised and valued.
Ensure every employee is able to work in an environment that promotes dignity and respect for all.
We will not tolerate any form of intimidation, bullying or harassment.
Ensure training, development and progression opportunities are available to all employees.

This policy is fully supported by the senior management of the company. Breaches of the policy may be regarded as misconduct and could lead to disciplinary proceedings.
