Harwood Hutton welcomes diversity, encourages personal development and rewards performance within a working environment where everyone is treated fairly and in the same way.
It is our policy that employees should never be subject to any acts of discrimination or harassment by reason of their age, disability, sex, gender reassignment, pregnancy, maternity, race (which includes colour, nationality and ethnic or national origins), sexual orientation, religion or belief, or because someone is married or in a civil partnership.
We are committed to promoting equal opportunities in all areas of recruitment, employment, training and career development for all employees according to the opportunities available, organisational requirements and individual attitudes and abilities.
We also recognise the need for our personnel to balance their career and domestic responsibilities.
In April 2021, we gave all our employees the opportunity to respond to an ICAEW-generated diversity questionnaire. A majority of colleagues took part in the survey and all were given the option of ‘prefer not to say’ to any of the questions. Some details are published below:
