C4 Employment and diversity policies

Promotion of Diversity in the Workplace

Promotion of diversity in the workplace. A diverse workforce exists when there is a range of staff from a variety of backgrounds, genders, races and sexuality. Diversity in employment does not just exist in recruitment but in the culture of the organisation and should also affect promotion and training opportunities. Inclusive organisational cultures make people feel welcome and valued regardless of their demographics.

Health and Safety Responsibilities

Health and safety responsibilities. It is the responsibility of any employer to protect the health and welfare of their staff and any visitors to the premises. Organisations should have a strategic plan to identify risks, take precautions to eliminate risks, deal with issues that arise, train staff to handle situations and allocate personnel effectively.
