Equality and discrimination - Creating fair workplaces

Propulsion Recruitment Group see fairness in the workplace as a vital part of a successful organisation. It is supported by the law - the Equality Act 2010 - and also makes good business sense in running and developing an organisation.

Under the Act, it is unlawful to discriminate against people at work because of nine areas termed in the legislation as protected characteristics:

• age

• disability

• gender reassignment

• marriage and civil partnership

• pregnancy and maternity

• race

• religion or belief

• sex

• sexual orientation.

The aim of the Equality Act is to improve equal job opportunities and fairness for employees and job applicants. Propulsion Recruitment Group have policies in place so these outcomes happen and, just as importantly, to prevent discrimination.
