Our Seven ED&I Commitments/Charter
We have made seven commitments to our colleagues and outlined our and their responsibilities and accountabilities in achieving these in our EDI policy.
It’s important that we publish the commitment that we make to DEI and that each department attests to ensuring an equitable, inclusive and psychologically safe culture – these will form our Charter.
We will publish these on our website, so that current and potential colleagues and customers can see our commitment and long-term goals concerning DEI.
- We believe that a culture of equity, diversity and inclusion not only benefits our organisation but supports wellbeing and enables our people to work better because they can be themselves and feel that they belong.
- We are committed to promoting a working environment based on dignity, trust, and respect, recognizing Intersectionality, and one that is free from discrimination, harassment, bullying or victimisation.
- We ensure that our recruitment, promotion, and retention procedures do not treat people less favourably because of their protected characteristics (as per the Equality Act 2010). In addition, we recognise that there are a range of other communities of identity and circumstances that are vulnerable to disadvantage and discrimination
- We take seriously complaints of bullying, harassment, victimisation and unlawful discrimination by fellow employees, members, customers, suppliers, partners, or any other party not employed by OneFamily in the course of our work activities.
- We make opportunities for training, development, and progress available to all staff, who will be helped and encouraged to develop their full potential, so their talents and resources can be fully utilised to maximise the efficiency of the organisation. This includes putting any reasonable adjustments in place to allow staff to perform to their best ability and full potential.
- We make decisions concerning staff based on merit (apart from in any necessary and limited exemptions and exceptions allowed under the Equality Act).
- We monitor the make-up of our workforce regarding information such as age, sex, ethnic background, sexual orientation, religion or belief, and disability in meeting the aims and commitments set out in the policy.
