Philosophy
Shepherd Stubbs Recruitment is committed to the belief that a policy
of Equal Opportunities allows a business to tap previously untapped
expertise. It believes that use of broader and more diverse cultural
bases make skills more accessible to industry.
Equal Opportunities Intent
Fair treatment irrespective of: colour, race, gender, ethnic origin,
marital status, nationality, creed, disability, age, religion, sexual
orientation, religious or political belief, gender reassignment,
trade union activity, criminal convictions, absence from the labour
market, responsibility for dependents or any other reason unrelated
to job performance/predicted job performance is part of the ethical
and professional approach to business of Shepherd Stubbs Ltd. This
policy of fair treatment applies equally to the Company’s own
Staff and those which it recruits/supplies on behalf of, or to,
Client Companies.
Monitoring
and Positive Action
Shepherd Stubbs Recruitment invites its Candidates to complete an
‘Equal Opportunities in Employment’ form during the Candidate
Registration Process. This information is reviewed periodically
and compared with local government statistics to monitor our representation
of minority groups and to identify strategies, where appropriate,
for positive action. Where appropriate the Company will take action
to encourage minority groups to apply for job vacancies that are
under-represented.

Equal
Opportunities Partnership
The Company believes that one of its most significant contributions
can be made by working with its Client Companies to further their
Equal Opportunities Policies. Our approach in this area is to provide
where required an expert range of services to assist companies in
their Equal Opportunities objectives. Shepherd Stubbs has the systems,
resources and knowledge in place to provide monitoring, analysis
and positive action (e.g. targeted advertising), should Clients
wish to use these services.
Disability Access
Shepherd Stubbs Recruitment extends access to all groups of disabilities
by providing alternative registration procedures and has facilities
for the hard of hearing and partially sighted to ensure that the
disabled continue to have free access to our service.
Attitude
A positive attitude to Equal Opportunities amongst all Shepherd
Stubbs people is encouraged and is included within competency criteria
on which staff are regularly reviewed. The Company does not undertake
business with Client Companies who have a negative attitude or an
unethical approach to Equal Opportunities.

The Company makes a commitment to abide by Equal Opportunities codes
of practice laid down by its Industry Body, the Recruitment and
Employment Confederation (REC), and also to work within the prevailing
legal and best practice framework.

Opportunity practices to local businesses via the provision of qualified
advice and guidance.

ensure that they remain non-discriminatory and that they reflect
best practice within the Industry.
