Equal Employment Opportunity
Our future depends upon attracting and retaining high calibre people. In support of this, all employees have the right to a working environment that will allow individuals to reach their full potential.
We intend that all matters related to recruiting, hiring, training, compensation, employee benefits, promotions or upgrading, transfer, social or recreational activities and all treatment on the job will be free of discriminatory practices. This also incorporates the requirements of the Affirmative Action Legislation, which specifically ensures that women are afforded Equal Employment Opportunities.
Entry into the company, selection for jobs and career progression will be determined by personal merit, competency, ability to effectively perform the job and, at times, potential to advance within the company.
