                    Who is Resposible 

                    The Management team is responsible for setting the tone at the top and demonstrating their commitment to creating an inclusive workplace. They should ensure that the equal opportunities policy is communicated effectively to all employees, and that all employees are trained on the policy.

                    The HR department is responsible for implementing and enforcing the equal opportunities policy. They should ensure that recruitment, selection, training, promotion, and termination decisions are made fairly and without discrimination. They should also handle complaints and grievances relating to discrimination and harassment in a prompt and confidential manner.

                    All employees have a responsibility to adhere to the equal opportunities policy and to promote a culture of respect and inclusion in the workplace. They should report any incidents of discrimination or harassment they witness or experience, and cooperate with any investigations or reviews related to the policy.

                    What is Discrimination

                    This section defines discrimination as treating someone unfairly or differently because of their race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, religion, or any other single personal characteristic.
