Equality & Diversity

The Oxinia Group embraces the importance of promoting equality and diversity from both a moral and a commercial perspective. We believe that a company that fails to promote diversity may detrimentally reduce the pool of talent from which it can draw and loses competitive advantage.

As a guide to build a more inclusive culture, we have established the following diversity mission statement as a guide to these efforts.

Diversity Mission Statement

Oxinia recognises that, despite much progress in recent years, many individuals continue to experience unfair prejudice and discrimination in their workplaces.

Oxinia rejects all such discrimination, whether it is on the basis of gender, ethnicity, sexuality, age, religious and political views, or on any other irrational or unreasonable basis.

Oxinia commits itself to opposing discrimination and promoting diversity – both internally and externally – and to promoting a culture that allows all employees to contribute to their fullest potential.

Leadership is central to our achieving our mission: our Group Chief Executive is committed to, and responsible for, ensuring that accountability and delivery are achieved on both internal and external recruitment campaigns.

We believe that diversity is critical to the success of both our clients and ourselves. A breadth of talent, opinion, judgment and experience within any organisation enables it to be more creative and to challenge existing thinking, delivering more innovatively and gaining competitive advantage.

Our commitment to diversity is at every level of our own organisation. We value diversity in ethnicity, disability, gender, language, age, sexual orientation, religion, socio-economic status, political persuasion, childcare needs, flexible working requirements, experience and education. We aim to ensure that employees are treated fairly, evaluated objectively and enabled to succeed. Our responsibility to our clients is to support them to make diversity a reality in their organisations. We are committed to ensuring that we provide our clients with choice and are continuing to find ways to improve the creativity with which we tackle assignments. We actively create networks with organisations that assist us in sourcing more diverse candidates and recognize that a successful organisation depends upon the insight of its people.

Equality Statement

The Oxinia Group is an Equal Opportunity employer and is fully committed to a policy of treating all its employees and job applicants equally. The company is committed to providing a working environment in which employees are able to realise their full potential and to contribute to business success irrespective of their gender, race, disability, religion or sexual orientation. This is a key employment value to which all employees are expected to give their support. In order to create these conditions, the company is committed to identifying and eliminating discriminatory practices, procedures, and attitudes throughout the organisation. The company expects employees to support this practice. Specifically, the company aims to ensure that no employee or job applicant is discriminated against, either directly or indirectly, on the grounds of:

This commitment applies to all aspects of employment including:

Promoting equality of opportunity means that everyone is treated solely on the basis of competence and merit, regardless of gender, parental or marital status, ethnic or national origin, race, age, religion, sexual orientation, disability or any other criteria not specifically related to potential skills and abilities. Oxinia endeavours to provide a working environment free from unlawful discrimination, harassment or victimisation on the above grounds. This applies in the recruitment, selection, employment conditions, training and promotion of all Oxinia employees and amongst those who use the service provided by Oxinia, both clients and candidates.

Oxinia Equal Opportunities Codes of Practice expand on current equal opportunities legislation, outline how Oxinia group companies endeavour to implement and promote this policy, and give specific guidelines to employees providing an employment agency service to clients and candidates.

Equal Opportunities practice is developing constantly as social attitudes and legislation change. The company will keep its policies under review. It will implement changes where these could improve equality of opportunity. This commitment applies to all the company's employment policies and procedures, not just those specifically connected with equal opportunity.
