As someone who works for the<br />
organisation, you are bound both by the<br />
law and by the organisation’s policy on<br />
equality, diversity and behaviour at work.<br />
Your role and such policies may require<br />
you to:<br />
• Actively challenge or report<br />
incidents of discriminatory<br />
or bullying behaviour<br />
• Be a role model for others<br />
and help them to recognise<br />
and change unacceptable<br />
behaviour<br />
How it affects Medivet and its users:<br />
Although being seen to comply with<br />
the law is important, most organisations<br />
embrace equality and diversity for the<br />
other benefits it brings.<br />
Workers who feel they are treated fairly<br />
and with respect are likely to:<br />
• Have higher morale<br />
• Take less time off work due to<br />
stress<br />
• Stay rather than leave<br />
• Be more productive as they are<br />
the best people for the job<br />
• Be aware of how new policies<br />
or services you are involved in<br />
developing might potentially<br />
disadvantage some groups, and<br />
work on solutions<br />
• Teach or train others about the<br />
importance of embracing equality<br />
and diversity<br />
• Supply, collect or analyse data to<br />
help the organisation monitor<br />
its progress towards embracing<br />
equality.<br />
