Discrimination
3. Setting Standards
If you own or manage the company, you are responsible not only for your own actions, but also for the behaviour and actions of your employees, managers and third-parties - such as suppliers and customers. You should make it clear that discriminatory behaviour and harassment is not acceptable.
3.1 Have a code of practice.
- Ensure it is widely and clearly displayed.
- Make breaches a disciplinary offence.
- Take disciplinary action before poor behaviour becomes established.
3.2 Educate and train all employees, especially those who recruit or manage employees.
3.3 Establish and publicise a channel for complaints.
3.4 Review your policies and practices regularly.
