Diversity Policy

At Getronics, we believe that diversity is one of our greatest strengths. We are committed to creating and maintaining an inclusive workplace where every individual feels valued, respected, and supported. 

Respecting Individuality 
We recognise and celebrate the unique qualities each person brings to our organisation. Whether differences relate to background, identity, experience, or perspective, we treat everyone with respect and dignity. We encourage open-mindedness and aim to build a culture where people feel free to be themselves and contribute fully. 

Eliminating Discrimination and Exclusion 
Discrimination, exclusion, and any form of unfair treatment have no place at Getronics. We are committed to identifying and removing barriers that may prevent people from fully participating or progressing within the organisation. This includes, but is not limited to, discrimination based on age, disability, gender, race, religion or belief, sexual orientation, or any other characteristic protected by law. 

We expect all staff, contractors, and visitors to uphold these values and to treat others with fairness and kindness at all times. Any behaviour that contradicts this policy will be taken seriously and addressed in line with our disciplinary procedures. 

Promoting an Inclusive Culture 
We strive to foster a working environment where inclusivity is part of everyday practice, not just policy. This involves continuous learning, active listening, and creating spaces where different voices are heard and respected. Everyone has a role to play in making our company a welcoming and equitable place to work. 

Leading Actions

To turn our principles into meaningful progress, we commit to the following actions: 

  1. Develop the principles of equal opportunities
    We will regularly review and strengthen our equal opportunity policies to ensure they are inclusive, relevant, and aligned with best practice. 
  2. Establish action plans that promote equality
    These will include measurable goals to ensure fairness in recruitment, career development, and day-to-day workplace experiences. 
  3. Create integration plans for specific groups
    We will support different groups through tailored initiatives, including the implementation of reasonable adjustments for employees with disabilities. 
  4. Encourage professionals to learn about diverse cultures
    We will promote learning and development opportunities that deepen understanding of different cultures, perspectives, and experiences. 
  5. Promote geographical mobility
    Where appropriate, we will support staff who wish to explore roles across different locations, recognising that diverse teams benefit from global perspectives. 
  6. Facilitate collaboration
    We will foster a culture of collaboration across teams, functions, and regions, encouraging people to share knowledge, learn from one another, and work inclusively. 
  7. Commit to diversity at all levels of the business
    From leadership to frontline roles, we are committed to ensuring diversity is embedded across the organisation. 
  8. Inform all staff about our diversity commitment
    We will ensure all colleagues understand our diversity policy, the reasons behind it, and their role in upholding it. 

We understand that building an inclusive culture is an ongoing effort. We will listen, learn, and adapt our approach, staying open to feedback and committed to continuous improvement. 

Statement of Expectation for All Employees
Diversity, equity, and inclusion are organisational values and shared responsibilities. 

We expect every employee, regardless of role or seniority, to actively uphold the principles set out in this Diversity Policy. This includes: 

  • Respecting the individuality of colleagues, clients, and partners 
  • Acting in ways that foster inclusion and belonging 
  • Challenging exclusionary or discriminatory behaviour 
  • Supporting initiatives that promote equality and fairness 
  • Being open to learning about different cultures, experiences, and perspectives 
  • Encouraging collaboration and inclusive dialogue across teams 
  • Contributing to a workplace culture where everyone feels welcome and valued 

All employees have a role to play in helping us create an environment that reflects our commitment to diversity. This means treating others with fairness and dignity, speaking up if something isn’t right, and taking personal responsibility for maintaining an inclusive atmosphere in daily interactions and decision-making. 

Leadership and people managers are expected to lead by example, embedding diversity principles in their teams and ensuring these expectations are consistently upheld. 

We thank every member of the team for their commitment to creating a respectful, inclusive, and forward-thinking workplace. 

Any issues or questions around your diversity responsibilities should be addressed to the People Services team.
