equality, diversity & inclusion Policy

CMA – the Content Marketing Agency – is committed to encouraging equality, diversity and inclusion among our workforce, as well as eliminating unlawful discrimination.

The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative of all sections of society and our customers, and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best.

CMA – in providing goods and/or services and/or facilities – is also committed against unlawful discrimination of customers or the public.

This Policy’s purpose is to:

• Provide equality, fairness and respect for all in our employment, whether temporary, part-time or full-time.

• Not unlawfully discriminate because of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race (including colour, nationality and ethnic or national origin), religion or belief, sex and sexual orientation – all characteristics protected by the Equalities Act, 2010.

• Oppose and avoid all forms of unlawful discrimination, including in pay and benefits, terms and conditions of employment, dealing with grievances and discipline, dismissal, redundancy, leave for parents, requests for flexible working and selection for employment, promotion, training or other developmental opportunities.

CMA further commits to encourage equality, diversity and inclusion in the workplace as they are good practice and make business sense

We strive to create a working environment free of bullying, harassment, victimisation and unlawful discrimination, promoting dignity and respect for all, where individual differences and the contributions of all staff are recognised and valued.

This commitment includes training managers and all other employees about their rights and responsibilities under this Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Policy.

Responsibilities include staff conducting themselves to help the organisation provide equal opportunities in employment and prevent bullying, harassment, victimisation and unlawful discrimination.

All staff should understand they, as well as their employer, can be held liable for acts of bullying, harassment, victimisation and unlawful discrimination, in the course of their employment, against fellow employees, customers, suppliers and the public.
