Expert Drivers Limited

Equal Opportunities Policy

Expert Drivers Ltd aim to encourage:

• The development of better employment opportunities within Expert Drivers Ltd, making positions available to people from all walks of life

• A better climate for improving employment practices and flexibility in business and management approaches.

Expert Drivers Ltd will ensure this happens by ensuring an Equal Opportunities form is completed within the application form pack.

Responsibility for Equal Opportunities

The Directors have overall responsibility for ensuring the policy is operated effectively.  The Office Manager is responsible for ensuring equal opportunities are promoted within their department, and will ensure decisions relating to matters such as recruitment, training and promotion are based on objective related criteria and do not give rise to discrimination.  Every employee must ensure he/she does not practice unfair discrimination in carrying out his/her duties.

Promotion Opportunities for All

Selecting employees for internal promotion involves very much the same principles and procedures as external selection.  Bias-free criteria, testing and interviewing procedures are needed.

Promotion decisions should be based firmly on the systematic assessment of individual employees against job-related criteria, avoiding all generalised and discriminatory assumptions.  The key factor is individual ability to do the job.
