Equality, diversity and inclusion statement

Premier Forecourts and Construction Limited is committed to promoting equal opportunities in employment and eliminating unlawful discrimination.  The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative of all sections of society and for all to feel respected and valued.

We believe that a culture of equality, diversity and inclusion not only benefits our organisation but supports wellbeing and enables our people to work better because they can be themselves and feel that they belong.

We are committed to promoting a working environment based on dignity, trust and respect, and one that is free from discrimination, harassment, bullying or victimisation. 

We ensure that our recruitment, promotion and retention procedures do not treat people less favourably because of their: 

  • disability;
  • gender, gender identity or gender reassignment status;
  • marital status;
  • race, racial group, ethnic or national origin, or nationality;
  • religion or belief;
  • sexual orientation; 
  • age;
  • civil partnership status;
  • pregnancy or maternity; 
  • paternity; 
  • part-time status; or
  • fixed-term status.

 

We are committed to encouraging equality, diversity and inclusion in the workplace and to creating a working environment free of bullying, harassment, victimisation and unlawful discrimination.  We promote dignity and respect for all, and where individual differences and the contributions of all staff are recognised and valued.

We will consider any possible indirectly discriminatory effect of our working practices, including the number of hours to be worked, the times at which these are to be worked and the place at which work is to be done. We will refuse requests for variations to working practices only if we have good reasons for doing so, that are unrelated to any protected characteristic. We will comply with our obligations in relation to statutory requests for contract variations and will also make reasonable adjustments to our working practices for individuals with a disability.
