Equality, Diversity

1. Purpose

Swift Track Digital Ltd is committed to promoting equality, diversity and inclusion and to providing an environment in which employees, contractors, clients, suppliers and other people with whom we work are treated fairly, with dignity and respect.

We aim to ensure that our employment practices, working relationships and provision of software and support services are free from unlawful discrimination, harassment and victimisation.

2. Scope

This policy applies to directors, employees, contractors and others working on behalf of Swift Track Digital Ltd. It also informs how we work with clients, prospective clients, suppliers, partners and users of our services.

3. Our Commitment

Swift Track Digital Ltd will not unlawfully discriminate because of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy or maternity, race, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation.

We are committed to:

• providing equality of opportunity in recruitment, selection, employment, development and progression;
• making employment and business decisions on relevant skills, competence, performance and business requirements;
• providing a working environment in which bullying, harassment, discrimination and victimisation are not accepted;
• considering reasonable adjustments for disabled employees, applicants and others where appropriate;
• treating clients, suppliers, partners and users fairly and professionally; and
• encouraging an inclusive culture in which individual differences, experience and perspectives are respected.

4. Recruitment, Employment and Development

Recruitment and employment decisions will be based on objective and relevant criteria. We will seek to ensure that job requirements, selection methods, working arrangements, training and development opportunities do not create unjustified barriers.

Where reasonably practicable, Swift Track Digital Ltd will consider adjustments to working arrangements, equipment or practices to support disabled employees or applicants.

5. Clients, Users and Accessibility

As a SaaS provider, Swift Track Digital Ltd recognises the importance of making its services usable by a wide range of people. Accessibility and user needs will be considered when developing, configuring and supporting the SwiftTrack platform, taking account of contractual requirements, technical feasibility and recognised good practice.

We will work constructively with clients where reasonable adjustments or alternative arrangements are required to support access to our services.

6. Behaviour and Working Relationships

Everyone working for or on behalf of Swift Track Digital Ltd is expected to treat colleagues, clients, suppliers and other contacts with dignity and respect.

Discriminatory behaviour, bullying, harassment or victimisation is not acceptable. Concerns should be raised with a Director so that they can be considered promptly, fairly and appropriately.

7. Responsibilities

The Directors are responsible for promoting this policy and ensuring that equality, diversity and inclusion are considered within relevant business and employment decisions.

Everyone working on behalf of Swift Track Digital Ltd has a responsibility to support the principles of this policy and to avoid behaviour that could unlawfully discriminate against, harass or disadvantage others.

8. Monitoring and Review

Swift Track Digital Ltd will review its working practices and this policy periodically to identify opportunities for improvement and to respond to changes in legislation, staffing, services or business arrangements.

This policy will be reviewed annually and earlier where a significant change makes this necessary.
