Equal opportunity policy

Solvay Healthcare believes that it should create a work environment in which all employees have the opportunity to contribute fully to the achievement of the Company's goals and vision.

Implicit in this statement is the principle that Solvay Healthcare supports and encourages a culture of equal opportunity for all employees in which personal success depends on individual merit and performance. Solvay Healthcare will not tolerate any forms of unlawful or unfair discrimination on the grounds of colour, race, nationality, religion, ethnic or national origin, sex, marital status or disability and will not tolerate any form of harassment.

All judgements about people for the purposes of recruitment, development and promotion will be made solely on the basis of their ability and potential in relation to the needs of the job. 

All employees are expected to co-operate to ensure this policy is carried out.

Employment of disabled people

The Company recognises that it has clear obligations towards all its employees and the community at large to ensure that people with disabilities are afforded equal opportunities to enter employment and progress within the Company.

In addition to complying with legislative requirements affecting the disabled, the Company will follow procedures designed to provide for fair consideration and selection of disabled applicants and to satisfy their training and career development needs.

When employees become disabled in the course of their employment, steps will be taken, through retraining or redeployment, if necessary, to enable employees to remain in employment with the Company wherever possible.

The policy applies equally to registered and non-registered disabled employees.
