Serco Sodexo Defence Services is proud of its commitment to providing equal employment opportunity for all employees and applicants for employment. This commitment is based on our corporate principles which commit us to respect the dignity and worth of all individuals.
Additional, Serco Sodexo Defence Services is committed to providing a workplace free of discrimination and unfair treatment on the basis of a person's race, age, gender, religious beliefs, political beliefs, family responsibilities, sexual preference, marital status or any other attribute prescribed by legislation. State and Federal laws prohibit treating an employee differently due to the possession of these attributes.
Our EEO and Affirmative Action Policy ensures all employees and applicants are treated fairly. Selection is based solely on an applicant’s ability to perform the inherent requirements of the job. This policy applies to all aspects of employment including:
• Recruitment and selection practices
• Selection of employees for additional responsibilities and or higher duties
• Allocation of employees to particular jobs or work areas
• Promotion
• Job rotation
• Training
• Terms and conditions of employment, and
• Occupational health and safety and rehabilitation.
Serco Sodexo Defence Services is strongly committed to these objectives as our people are our most important resource. We wish to develop a workforce that is truly representative of the diverse cultures and beliefs that exist in Australia, including respect for the beliefs of our indigenous peoples.
We recongise the importance of Affirmative Action to improve employment opportunities for women, indigenous peoples, culturally diverse and disadvantaged employees. This involves statistical analysis of our workplace trends and identifying targeted opportunities for these traditionally under-represented groups. This process and program is monitored and evaluated regularly and is formally reviewed on an annual basis.
The formulation of objectives of our EEO and Affirmative Action Policy are crucial to our overall development and success.
