Equality, diversity and inclusion

Ubico adopts a zero-tolerance approach to discrimination on any of the protected grounds in the Equality Act 2010.

We are committed to providing equal opportunities to all current and prospective employees regardless of age, disability, sex, sexual orientation, pregnancy and maternity, race or ethnicity, religion or belief, gender identity, or marriage and civil partnership.

We aspire to have a diverse workforce because, in our view, diversity enables better business outcomes. We also believe that a more inclusive workplace, where people of different backgrounds work together, ensures better outcomes for everyone. From application to interview, we place inclusion at the heart of all we do.

In particular, we strongly encourage suitably qualified applicants from a wide range of backgrounds to apply and join Ubico.

How do we do this?

Encouraging equality, diversity and inclusion in the workplace. This is best practice and makes sound business sense.

Creating a working environment free of bullying, harassment, victimisation and unlawful discrimination. Promoting dignity and respect for all and where individual differences and the contributions of all staff are recognised and valued.

Training our managers and all other employees about their rights and responsibilities under the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Policy.

Taking seriously complaints of bullying, harassment, victimisation and unlawful discrimination by fellow employees, customers, suppliers, visitors, the public and any others in the course of Ubico’s work activities.

Ensuring opportunities for training, development and progression are available to all staff, who will be helped and encouraged to develop their full potential.

Reviewing employment practices and procedures when necessary to ensure fairness and updating them and the policy to take account of changes in the law.

Reviewing recruitment practices and procedures regularly to ensure that processes are in place to reduce the risk of unconscious bias.

If an employee is disabled or becomes disabled, Ubico will consider what reasonable adjustments or support may be appropriate.

Monitor the make-up of the workforce regarding information such as age, sex, ethnic background, sexual orientation, religion or belief, and disability in encouraging equality, diversity and inclusion, and in meeting the aims and commitments set out in the equality, diversity and inclusion policy.

Monitoring will also include assessing how the equality, diversity and inclusion policy, and any supporting action plan, are working in practice, reviewing them annually, and considering and taking action to address any issues.
