Purpose

The purpose of a Bullying, Harassment, Equal Opportunity & Anti-Discrimination Policy is to ensure all employees are treated equitably and are not subject to discrimination either directly or indirectly on the grounds of age, disability, gender identity, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy or maternity, breastfeeding, race, religion or belief, sexual orientation, or intersex status.

The intention of these procedures is to inform workers of the type of behaviour that is unacceptable and to provide procedural guidance.

We recognise that we have a duty to implement this policy and all workers are expected to comply with it.

The aim of the policy is to ensure that no job applicant or employee is discriminated
against.

The policy will be communicated to all private contractors reminding them of their
responsibilities in respect of equality of opportunity.

Policy Statement

McNaught’s is committed to the provision of a fair, healthy, and safe workplace in which everyone is treated with dignity and respect and in which no individual or group feels bullied, threatened, or intimidated.

Bullying, harassment, or discrimination in any form is unacceptable behaviour and will not be permitted or condoned.

We recognise that bullying, harassment, and discrimination can exist in the workplace, as well as outside, and that this can seriously affect workers’ working lives by detracting from a productive working environment and can impact on the health, confidence, morale, and performance of those affected by it, including anyone who witnesses or has knowledge of the unwanted or unacceptable behaviour.
