Equality Policy

HFM Radio Ltd (Harborough FM) is dedicated to encouraging a supportive and inclusive culture amongst the whole team. It is within our best interest to promote diversity and eliminate discrimination in the working environment.

Our aim is to ensure that all employees, job applicants and volunteers are given equal opportunity and that our organisation is representative of all sections of society. Each employee and volunteer will be respected and valued and able to give their best as a result.

This policy reinforces our commitment to providing equality and fairness to all in our employment and not provide less favourable facilities or treatment on the grounds of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, ethnic origin, colour, nationality, national origin, religion or belief, or sex and sexual orientation. We are opposed to all forms of unlawful and unfair discrimination.

All employees, no matter whether they are part-time, full-time, or temporary, will be treated fairly and with respect. When the management committee selects candidates for employment, promotion, training, or any other benefit, it will be on the basis of their aptitude and ability.

All employees and volunteers will be given help and encouragement to develop their full potential and utilise their unique talents. Therefore, the skills and resources of our organisation will be fully utilised and we will maximise the efficiency of our whole team.

Commitments:

• To create an environment in which individual differences and the contributions of all team members are recognised and valued.
• To not tolerate any form of intimidation, bullying, or harassment, and to discipline those that breach this policy.
• To promote equality in the workplace, which HFM Radio Ltd believes is good management practice and makes sound business sense.
• To encourage anyone who feels they have been subject to discrimination to raise their concerns so we can apply corrective measures.
