diversity in the workforce.

As an online job board we are keen to promote diversity in the workplace
and uphold fair and legal recruitment procedures. We encourage employers
to be fair and ensure they are recruiting employees based on experiences,
skills and qualifications and not anything else, e.g. sex, age, race
etc.
It is illegal to discriminate against people at work on the grounds
of:
- Gender
- Race
- Disability
- Sexual orientation
- Religion or belief
- Being or not being a member of a trade union.
The law changes regularly, so it is important to keep up to date and
check up on any changes.
The following websites allow you to seek further advice, support and
guidance on diversity and discrimination issues to help you to keep
up to date with the law and to assist you in more specific requirements.
