Equal opportunities
APS Group is an equal opportunities employer. This means that the company does not permit discrimination of any kind against any person on the grounds of:
- Colour
- Creed or religion
- Race or ethnic origin
- Nationality or national origin
- Gender
- Sexuality
- Marital status
- Disability
- Age
Direct discrimination occurs when a person is treated less favourable than others due to their sex, marital status or race in the same or similar circumstances.
Indirect discrimination occurs when a provision, criterion or practice is applied which adversely affects a larger proportion of people of one race, sex or marital status and cannot be justified on the grounds of race, sex or marital status.
Victimisation occurs when an employee is treated less favourably than others on the grounds that they have initiated complaint proceedings against the employer under the discrimination legislation.
The company will ensure that equal opportunities principles are applied in all its human resource policies, in particular to the procedures relating to recruitment, training, development and promotion of staff.
