Diversity and inclusion
Diversity means difference, i.e. different protected characteristics and different ways of thinking being represented.
Inclusion is when everyone is included, irrespective of their differences.
Equality of opportunity means that all employees and job applicants have the opportunity to realise their full potential.
It is the policy of the CII to treat all colleagues and job applicants fairly and equally. We do not discriminate against staff based on the protected characteristics of age, disability, marriage/civil partnership, pregnancy/maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation or gender reassignment or whether they are a part-time worker, fixed term employee or are a member of a trade union.
We seek to ensure no person is victimised or harassed or bullied or subjected to discrimination and that all employees feel secure and content and that the workplace is free from intimidation.
