Equal Opportunities

Brown & Mason is proud of the fact that it is a dedicated Equal Opportunities Employer. This means that the Company will make every reasonable effort to ensure that there is no discrimination or harassment on the grounds of colour, race, nationality, religion, ethnic origin, disability, age, gender or marital status or sexual orientation, in the way that the Company treats its employees, contractors, or applicants and visitors.

Brown & Mason has three main objectives:-

1. To encourage its employees to take an active role against all forms of harassment and discrimination.

2. To deter employees from participation in harassment or disciplinary behaviour.

3. To demonstrate to all employees that they can rely upon the Company's support in cases of harassment or discrimination at work.

Brown & Mason is committed to a working environment that offers equal treatment and equal opportunities for all its employees, so that every employee is able to progress to his or her true potential.

This policy applies to all aspects of the Company's working practices and therefore, applies to the recruitment and selection of employees, terms and conditions of employment, training, salary, work allocation, promotion and disciplinary procedures.

The Company's recruitment, selection and promotion procedures and general policies and practices will be periodically reviewed to ensure that this Equal Opportunities Policy is being implemented.

All employees are required to follow and implement the Company's Equal Opportunities Policy (a copy of which is available on request) and under go any training and development activities to ensure that they can carry out their duties and responsibilities in terms of promoting, developing, implementing and reviewing the policy arrangements in the course of their work. Failure to do so may lead to disciplinary action, possibly including dismissal.
