Discrimination in the
workplace
TipTopJob encourages employers to eliminate discrimination and
encourage 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.
If you need to find out any information on discrimination issues, then
please contact the relevant companies listed below.
