Equal Opportunities
The Tutu Foundation has a strong belief in equal opportunities and promotes this at all levels within the organisation.
We commit ourselves to:
- Ensure that no applicant or employee receives less favourable treatment on grounds that cannot be shown to be justifiable. We will take steps to ensure that no-one receives less favourable treatment because of her or his:
- sex and marital status: this includes family status, responsibility for dependants, sexual orientation and gender;
- colour or race: this includes ethnic or national origin or nationality;
- disability;
- religious or political beliefs, or trade union affiliation;
- other unjustifiable factors, for example, age or language difficulties.
- Seek to employ a workforce which reflects the multi-cultural nature of the population.
- Use only job related criteria in recruitment and selection.
- Ensure that all aspects of our pay systems are free of sex bias.
- Provide a workplace which is environmentally compatible and accessible to people with disabilities.
- Treat all employees and job applicants with dignity and respect and provide a working environment free from harassment.
- Utilise the expertise and skills of all employees and ensure their development through training and other career opportunities.
We also commit ourselves to:
- Provide a programme of training for employees on implementing the Policy.
- Set targets and timetables for implementing the Policy, and monitor and report on the effectiveness of the Policy.
