NMG is fully committed to promoting diversity in all areas of employment and to providing an inclusive working environment where everyone feels valued and respected, irrespective of their race, gender, marital/civil partnership status, age, disability, religion or belief, colour, national origin or sexual orientation. NMG goes further than just having an Equal Opportunities Policy, in that, rather than just complying with the law, it constantly strives to emphasise the business and personal benefits to be gained from valuing the differences between people. Many businesses find it helpful to have a workforce that reflects the community they trade in because it helps them to understand their customers and to tailor their goods and services so as to build trust and goodwill among them and suppliers. NMG passionately believes that encouraging staff diversity also makes it more interesting for employees. This benefits employee productivity and retention, leading to lower recruitment and training costs. |
