Equal opportunities
Equal Opportunities Statement
At Blend Technology Consultants, we are committed to fostering an inclusive and supportive work environment where everyone has an equal opportunity to thrive. We value diversity and ensure that all individuals, whether employees or job applicants, are treated fairly and without discrimination.
We provide equal opportunities regardless of age, disability, gender, gender reassignment, marital or civil partnership status, pregnancy or maternity, race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin, religion or belief, sex, or sexual orientation.
Our Approach
This commitment applies to all areas of employment, including:
- Recruitment and onboarding
- Pay and benefits
- Training and career development
- Performance appraisals
- Promotions
- Workplace conduct
- Disciplinary and grievance procedures
- Termination of employment
We actively ensure that our policies and practices promote equality and prevent unlawful discrimination.
Respect and Inclusion
We believe in creating a workplace where everyone feels respected and valued. Discrimination, harassment, and victimisation of any kind are not tolerated, whether in the office, during work-related events, or in dealings with clients, suppliers, or partners.
Examples of prohibited behaviours include:
- Direct Discrimination: Treating someone less favourably due to a protected characteristic.
- Indirect Discrimination: Policies or practices that unfairly disadvantage people with certain characteristics.
- Harassment: Unwanted behaviour that violates dignity or creates a hostile environment.
- Victimisation: Retaliation against individuals who raise or support concerns about discrimination.
- Disability Discrimination: Failing to make reasonable adjustments or treating someone unfairly because of a disability.
Supporting Everyone
We are committed to accommodating individual needs wherever possible. If you have a disability or require adjustments to your role, please let us know so we can explore how best to support you.
Recruitment and Selection
Our recruitment processes are designed to ensure fairness and objectivity. We assess candidates based on merit and skills, avoiding questions or criteria that could result in discrimination. Where necessary, we will make reasonable adjustments to support candidates during the recruitment process.
Our Commitment
We uphold the principle that part-time and fixed-term employees are treated equally and enjoy comparable terms to full-time or permanent colleagues.
Raising Concerns
If you experience or witness behaviour that goes against our commitment to equal opportunities, please let us know. We have clear processes in place to address concerns confidentially and without fear of retaliation.
At Blend Technology Consultants, diversity and inclusion aren’t just policies—they are core to who we are and how we work.
