Key Objectives

Promoting Diversity: We actively seek to attract, retain, and develop a diverse workforce that reflects the communities and industries we serve.
Ensuring Equity: All decisions related to recruitment, training, promotion, and employment terms are based on merit and relevant qualifications, without bias.
Fostering Inclusion: We strive to create an environment where everyone feels valued, supported, and empowered to contribute fully to our collective success.

Policies and Practices

Recruitment and Selection: Our processes are designed to ensure equal access and opportunity for all candidates. Reasonable accommodations will be provided for individuals with disabilities to facilitate participation in recruitment activities.
Training and Development: Opportunities for professional growth are based on individual needs and job requirements. Selection for training is free from bias related to any of the nine protected grounds.
Promotion and Career Progression: Elevate Partners ensures fairness and transparency in promotion decisions, evaluating candidates solely on their ability to meet role requirements.
Workplace Environment: We are committed to maintaining a workplace free from discrimination, harassment, and victimisation. Our policies on bullying and harassment are aligned with legal standards to protect all employees.
Reasonable Accommodation
Elevate Partners will make reasonable accommodations for employees or applicants with disabilities to ensure they can effectively perform their roles and participate in training, provided such accommodations do not impose a disproportionate burden.

Addressing Concerns

Employees who experience or witness discrimination, harassment, or victimisation are encouraged to report incidents through our grievance procedure or harassment and bullying policies. Complaints will be handled confidentially, promptly, and fairly. Employees who raise concerns in good faith are protected from retaliation, while any false allegations made in bad faith will be addressed through our disciplinary process.

Continuous Improvement

We regularly review our DE&I policies and practices to ensure they remain aligned with evolving legal requirements and industry best practices.

Accountability

Our leadership team is responsible for implementing and upholding this policy, supported by employees at all levels. Together, we will cultivate a workplace that celebrates diversity, champions equity, and thrives on inclusion.
