1. Introduction (overview)

This policy sets out our commitment to providing a fair and inclusive working culture which encourages all our people to make their individual contributions.
This in turn benefits our customers and our business.

This policy applies to everyone who works for Pullman, whether as employees, contractors, or people from agencies.
The policy is a guide and doesn’t form part of your contract.
We may change this policy from time to time subject to any agreed consultation processes.

2. Our aims

We want to create a supportive and inclusive environment that helps you balance your work with your lifestyle and reach your full potential in line with our company values.

We are committed to diversity and promoting a culture of inclusion and we expect you to be too.
We all have a responsibility to promote a culture of inclusion, treat everyone with dignity and respect, and not to discriminate against anyone including current and former employees, job applicants, clients, customers, suppliers, and visitors.

3. What is equality?

It refers to the right of every individual to equal treatment and opportunity, regardless of factors like race, disability, gender, or social background.
Wherever possible Pullman commit to overcoming barriers that allow everyone to express themselves and achieve their best work.

4. What is diversity?

It encompasses acceptance and respect; understanding that each individual is unique, and recognising our individual differences.
It’s the exploration of these differences in a safe, positive, and nurturing environment.
It’s about understanding each other and moving beyond simple tolerance to embracing and celebrating the diversity contained within each individual.

5. What is inclusion?

It is about having a culture where people feel they belong, are engaged, and connected; where people feel able to include everyone, irrespective of their culture and their differences.
It’s also about allowing everyone to perform to the best of their abilities and be able to share their personal skills, knowledge, and experiences to help us achieve our ambitions.
