Apex Grove Distribution Ltd ("Apex Grove") is committed to a workplace where everyone is treated with dignity and respect, and where opportunities are based on merit. This policy reflects the Constitution of Kenya 2010, the Employment Act 2007, the Persons with Disabilities Act and, where relevant, the principles of the UK Equality Act 2010 followed within the Earthe group.
Scope
This policy applies to recruitment, terms of employment, pay, training, promotion, discipline and termination, and to how we treat clients, suppliers, subcontractors and community members.
Our Commitments
- We do not discriminate on grounds of race, ethnicity, tribe, colour, sex, pregnancy, marital status, health status, disability, religion, conscience, belief, culture, language, age, birth, political opinion, or any other protected characteristic.
- We pay equal remuneration for work of equal value.
- We make reasonable adjustments for people with disabilities.
- We encourage applications from women in technical, drilling and construction roles.
- We recruit from local communities near our project sites wherever practical, giving local people fair access to work and skills.
Harassment and Bullying
Harassment, including sexual harassment, bullying and victimisation are not tolerated. In line with the Employment Act 2007, we maintain a clear procedure for raising complaints of sexual harassment, and all complaints are handled promptly and confidentially.
Recruitment and Development
Job requirements are based on the skills needed for the role. Selection decisions are documented and fair. We provide training and development opportunities to all staff on an equal basis.
Responsibilities
Senior leadership is responsible for this policy. Managers and supervisors must apply it consistently, and every member of staff is expected to uphold it.
