At KSC Ltd., we are dedicated to fostering a fair and inclusive environment for everyone we interact with, including employees, job applicants, customers, and partners. We strive to ensure that no one faces unfair or unlawful discrimination.
Our Commitment to Equality
We believe in treating everyone fairly and equally, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, family status, race, nationality, ethnic or national origin, religion or belief, age, physical or mental disability, working patterns, responsibility for dependents, membership of the traveling community, union membership status, or any other irrelevant factor. Respect and dignity are fundamental to our workplace culture, which is free from harassment, intimidation, and discrimination.
Valuing Diversity
We recognize the benefits of a diverse workforce, as it creates an environment where creativity and valuing differences thrive. We value the wealth of experience within the community in which we operate and aspire to have a workforce that reflects this diversity. Opportunities for training, development, and advancement are available to all employees on a fair and equal basis.
Legal Framework
Our practices align with Irish legislation, including the Employment Equality Acts 1998-2015 and the Equal Status Acts 2000-2018. We are committed to not only observing these laws but also going beyond them to provide genuine equality of opportunity.
Types of Discrimination
Discrimination can be direct or indirect and may take various forms, such as treating individuals less favourably on grounds of their sex, race, nationality, ethnic origin, religion or belief, sexual orientation, disability, age, or union membership; imposing requirements that disproportionately affect certain groups; and victimisation and harassment in any form.
Promoting Equality and Diversity
We ensure that our recruitment process is objective and focuses solely on the applicants' suitability for the job. Job adverts encourage applications from all types of candidates without stereotyping. We provide development opportunities for all staff, ensuring access to training regardless of working patterns or personal circumstances. Our employment terms are non-discriminatory and are regularly reviewed for fairness.
Positive Action
To address under-representation, we actively encourage applications from certain groups. However, our selection process remains merit-based, ensuring decisions are made based on individual suitability and potential.
Communication of Our Policy
Our commitment to diversity and equality is communicated to all job applicants, employees, and stakeholders. A copy of our policy is included in the Employee Handbook, and customers and clients are made aware of our stance on equality and diversity.
Implementation and Monitoring
Senior management is responsible for implementing and monitoring this policy to ensure its effectiveness. We regularly review our practices to maintain a fair and inclusive environment.
KSC Ltd. is an equal opportunities employer and values diversity. We are proud of our inclusive culture and are committed to maintaining a workplace where everyone can thrive.
