| Our people are essential
to the success of our business. We know that it's important
for all employees to be able to strike a balance between
work and life outside work. We encourage all our employees
to achieve the right balance, because this will strengthen
our business too, increase productivity and make our people
happier. |
| On an informal
basis we encourage good management practice - treating
our staff with sensitivity and understanding. We adopt
a give and take approach, encouraging employees to put
the extra effort in when required, balanced with the
opportunity to take time off when times are quieter. |
 |
| GBJ fully supports
the rights of everyone to be treated with dignity and
respect. Subjecting someone to harassment or bullying
is a form of discrimination. Not only is it unacceptable
but unlawful. |
| We understand that
such actions can affect people's health, work performance,
promotion and job prospects and it's part of our policy
to make every effort to provide a working environment
that is free of harassment and intimidation. |
| Our policy covers
harassment on the ground of gender, race and disability.
It also addresses bullying. |
 |
| Our equal opportunity
policy makes sure everyone gets the same treatment. Individuals
will be selected, promoted and treated on the basis of
their abilities and according to the requirements of their
job. Everyone will be given equal opportunity to progress
within the organisation based on these criteria. |
| Our equal opportunity
policy applies to everyone within GBJ and we expect all
agencies and contractors who work with, and for us, to
comply with this policy. |
 |
| Our priority is to
ensure that all activities within GBJ are conducted safely.
The health of our employees, customers and the public
are protected at all times. We aim to: |
 |
incorporate health, safety and
environmental factors into all business decisions
|
|
manage our business in such a
way that we save energy; reduce waste; prevent pollution;
and avoid damage to the environment |
|
provide the necessary training
so our employees can work with due consideration
for the environment and for the health and safety
of themselves and others |
|
always comply with legislation
and wherever possible to a higher standard than
required |
|
constantly improve our health, safety and environmental performance; monitor our performance and report on it in an open, balanced and factual manner |
|
| We ask all management,
employees, contractors and partners to demonstrate the
same level of commitment to health, safety and environment. |
