equal opportunities
Pelican is committed to the principle of equal opportunity in employment. We believe that all employees and applicants for employment have the right to be treated with dignity and respect. We are actively opposed to any form of less favourable treatment accorded to staff or job applicants on the grounds of race, creed, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origins, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, age or disability.
Our aim is to create and sustain a working environment in which individual diversity is valued and all employees are able to contribute freely and achieve their maximum potential. This means that decisions on employment, promotion, training, salaries and recognition are made only on the basis of business need, coupled with an individual’s abilities, skills, experience, potential and contribution. Decisions relating to discipline and dismissal are to be handled objectively and free from bias. Discrimination in these decisions on grounds not directly related to job requirements is expressly forbidden.
The co-operation of all employees is essential to the success of this policy. Although ultimate responsibility for achieving the policy’s objectives and for ensuring compliance with the relevant Acts of Parliament as well as the various Codes of Practice lies with the Company, all employees have a duty to uphold this policy. All employees must therefore ensure that they follow procedures and act fairly, impartially and consistently when dealing with their colleagues and potential recruits. The Company will not tolerate any actions, comments, jokes or other conduct in the workplace that create an intimidating or otherwise offensive environment. In addition, the policy applies equally to the treatment of customers, suppliers and members of the public.
