Purpose of the Policy

The purpose of this policy is to state our organisation’s values on equality and diversity and show how the organisation will put these into practice. We want to show staff, potential staff, and customers that JNR Properties is serious about fairness. JNR Properties recognises and accepts its responsibility to ensure equality and diversity in all areas of operation.

Policy Aims and Objectives

JNR Properties is committed to equality for all people. JNR Properties is committed  to operating in accordance with the 2010 Equality Act in the implementation of this  Policy, in addition to any associated legislation laid out in any relevant Codes of  Practice. The organisation will monitor its policies and procedures to ensure that this  policy and its principles are upheld. Every manager and employee have the  responsibility to implement this policy. All staff have a responsibility not to  discriminate or harass other staff, customers, landlords, tenants, and contractors.  Any behaviour of this manner should be reported to the Director immediately. JNR  Properties is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to ensuring that the  terms and conditions of employment of the employee and potential employee are  equitable and non-discriminatory. All opportunities for and during employment will  be awarded to individuals fairly and irrespective of age, disability, gender, gender  reassignment, material or civil partnership status, maternity or pregnancy, race  including colour, ethnic or national origins or nationality, religion or belief or sexual  orientation (“the protected characteristics”). We aim to create a working  environment that is free from discrimination and harassment in any form, in which  staff, customers, landlords, tenants and contractors are treated with dignity and  respect. The organisation will seek to promote equal opportunities and prevent  discrimination and harassment by communicating this policy; by providing  appropriate training and guidelines for those with designated responsibilities and by  raising awareness through staff development.
