Equalities and diversity
Shepherds Bush Housing Group (SBHG) works to maintain an environment where the needs and aspirations of staff are met, irrespective of race, gender, disability, sexual orientation, religion or age. Our people are our most valuable resource.
We are committed to ensuring that everyone enjoys a positive working environment free from discrimination. We fully support principles of equality and diversity and treat employees and our customers with respect and dignity.
We expect employees, residents and customers to observe and uphold our organisational commitment to diversity. Our commitment is enshrined in our core value of We Respect Others.
Our policy decrees that employees and customers will not receive less favourable treatment in employment or service delivery on grounds of:
• Disability
• Race
• Sexual orientation
• Religion
• Gender
• Age
• Responsibility for dependants
• Membership/non-membership of any trade union or other relevant representative body.
We value diversity and promote a culture where differences between people are respected and celebrated. We deal with people as individuals, while recognising that many people share common experiences based on their backgrounds.
We work with expert organisations such as the Employers’ Forum on Age, Housing Diversity Network and Stonewall to ensure that we use their expertise to help us develop. We also provide regularly training and opportunities for discussion on diversity issues for all our employees.
