Inclusion & Diversity

Inclusion & diversity is a big deal at Factorylux. The world is a mess and any hope of fixing it is hinged on people being able to come together in a sprit of collaboration and mutual respect. We're committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce and eliminating discrimination wherever we can. The aim is for our workforce to be representative of all sections of society, our customers, suppliers and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best.

We aim to:
  • Provide equality, fairness and respect for all in our employment, whether temporary, part-time or full-time
  • Not unlawfully discriminate because of the Equality Act 2010 protected characteristics of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race (including colour, nationality, and ethnic or national origin), religion or belief, sex, gender and sexual orientation
  • Oppose and avoid all forms of unlawful discrimination. This includes in pay and benefits, terms and conditions of employment, dealing with grievances and discipline, dismissal, redundancy, leave for parents, requests for flexible working, and selection for employment, promotion, training or other developmental opportunities
We commit to:
  • Encourage equality and diversity in our workplace as good ethical practice and sound business sense
  • Create a working environment free of bullying, harassment, victimisation and unlawful discrimination, promoting dignity and respect for all, and where individual differences and the contributions of all staff are recognised and valued
  • Take seriously complaints of bullying, harassment, victimisation and unlawful discrimination by fellow employees, customers, suppliers, visitors, the public and any others in the course of our work activities
  • Make opportunities for training, development and progress available to all staff, who will be helped and encouraged to develop their full potential, so their talents and resources can be fully utilised to maximise the efficiency of the organisation
  • Decisions concerning staff being based on merit (apart from in any necessary and limited exemptions and exceptions allowed under the Equality Act)
