Diversity and Inclusion Stance

Komcept Solutions Diversity and Inclusion Stance

One of Komcept’s core valued attributes is ‘Supportive’.

We know that promoting an internal culture that appreciates difference and recognises that people from different backgrounds and experiences can bring valuable insights to the workplace and improve the way we work.

We view anti-discrimination legislation such as the Equality Act 2010 as an absolute minimum, and strive instead to push for the best in every member of the team as individuals, acknowledging that it is not always appropriate for everyone to be treated in exactly the same way. More often it is the case that different steps should be taken to ensure that everyone is afforded the same opportunities as each other.

We attempt to provide the same access to opportunities to all, by removing any obstacles to this being provided organically.

Everyone is valued at Komcept, our workforce is diverse, and we intend to always be this way, valuing everyone and respecting our differences so that each employee feels able to give their best.

At KSL, and in the society we represent, we all have differences, both visible & invisible. Our attitude to inclusion strives to ensure that we are celebrated and valued because of those differences.

There can be no equality of opportunity if variety is not appreciated and harnessed and so we embrace and encourage our employees’ differences.

We recognise that variety in people’s life experiences, and the way in which they move through the world around them can greatly enrich the ideas and opinions that are brought to the table during company discussions. As a result, KSL embraces having teams made up of a varied mix of people, and the conflicting ideas that result to challenge our ways of thinking.

Our team at KSL is the most valuable asset we have. The collective sum of the individual differences, life experiences, knowledge, inventiveness, innovation, self-expression, unique capabilities and talent that our employees invest in their work represents a significant part of not only our culture, but our reputation and company’s achievement as well.

Here, we promote dignity and respect for all, where individual differences and the contributions of all staff are recognised and valued and where everyone has the right to live their lives free of bullying and harassment.

• View our employment practices and procedures as guidelines, to provide clarity for all, but to be reviewed when necessary to ensure fairness.
• Take seriously any complaints regarding unequitable treatment of staff based on any defining trait.
• Expect all employees to exhibit conduct that reflects inclusion.
• Apologise when we get things wrong and adapt our behaviour to address the problem.
• Select candidates for employment, promotion, training, or any other benefit, on the basis of their aptitude and ability.
• Give help and encouragement to all employees to develop their full potential and utilise their unique talents, fully utilising the skills and resources of our organisation and maximising the efficiency of our whole workforce.
• Make all employees aware that an inclusive culture is being fostered which they have a personal responsibility to embrace, and this position will also be drawn to the attention of job applicants and other stakeholders.
• Aim to be diverse in our workforce selection, understanding that someone’s differences, rather than their qualifications alone, may make them the best person for the role.
• Support the right of everyone to live their lives free of bullying and harassment.
• Promote dignity and respect for all, where individual differences and the contributions of all staff are recognised and valued.
• Help and encourage all individuals to develop their full potential, with opportunities for training, development and progress appropriate to their own appetite.
• Encourage all staff to disclose information relating to any disability. This will enable the organisation to work with those individuals to understand and agree any subjective reasonable adjustments needed in the workplace.
