List some of the areas in which policies and procedures of Promotion of Fair and Equitable Treatment are developed and applied

Answers

-Equal opportunities: the regulation of recruitment and selection processes and other
management decision-making areas to ensure that there is no discrimination between
employees on grounds of gender, race, disability, sexual orientation, religion and age.

-Discipline: the regulation of the application of sanctions against employees for various
forms of misconduct to ensure that any punishment is appropriate to the offence and
that the employee concerned has the right of a hearing and appeal.

-Grievances: the establishment of formal procedures to allow employees to voice
grievances about the way they feel they have been treated by managers or other staff,
and to have those grievances heard by management.

-Harassment: the establishment of codes of conduct designed to prevent such actions as
sexual harassment, racism and bullying, often defining them as disciplinary offences.
In addition to establishing policies and procedures, certain aspects of equal
opportunities require the organisation to take positive steps to enable the outcomes to
be achieved. These may be in respect of providing different foods on menus to cater
for the needs of certain religious groups, allowing for prayer breaks and providing
rooms for that purpose, the provision of non-standard means of communication to
cater for the needs of hearing and visually impaired people and the adaptation of the
physical workplace so that physically disabled people can perform effectively.
