This policy is effective from October 1, 2023 and supersedes all previous policies relating to diversity and inclusion.

Purpose

Cubic Promote is committed to fostering, cultivating, and preserving a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Our workforce represents the varied individual differences, life experiences, knowledge, inventiveness, innovation, self-expression, capabilities, and talent that our employees, suppliers, and customers bring to their work.

This policy outlines our commitment to creating a workplace that respects and values individual differences. We aim to ensure that our employees, customers, and partners feel respected, valued, and able to contribute to their fullest potential, regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, race, ethnicity, disability, age, nationality, or religious beliefs.

Policy Statement

Cubic Promote is committed to diversity and inclusion across all areas of our business. This commitment extends to our recruitment and selection processes, compensation and benefits, contract negotiations, client interactions, terminations, and our overall work environment. 

Our diversity and inclusion policy applies not only to our employees but also to clients, suppliers, contractors, volunteers, and partners who are integral to the success and operations of Cubic Promote.

Scope

LGBT Inclusion

• We strive to create an environment where LGBTQIA+ employees and stakeholders feel safe, respected, and valued. We actively work to eliminate any form of discrimination or harassment based on sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression.
• Our hiring policies include specific provisions that protect the rights of LGBTQIA+ employees. This includes equitable hiring practices, anti-discrimination safeguards, and rigorous enforcement of policies that support the dignity of all persons within the organisation.
• We ensure that our benefits packages are inclusive of all family structures, which includes recognizing same-sex partnerships and providing equal access to leave policies and other company benefits.
• We support employees who are transitioning, including provisions for necessary leave and a commitment to their rights to privacy and respect during their transition.
• We require all our suppliers and business partners to adhere to similar standards of non-discrimination and respect for LGBTQIA+ rights.
• We regularly review our company policies to ensure they are inclusive of all genders and sexual orientations. This includes using inclusive language throughout our corporate communications, respecting preferred names and pronouns, and encouraging our suppliers and clients to adopt similar inclusive practices.

Gender Equality

• We have gender-neutral recruitment processes in place to ensure fair and equitable treatment for all candidates. Our selection criteria focus solely on qualifications, skills, and merit, eliminating biases based on gender.
• Promotion criteria are standardised and transparent, based strictly on performance and potential, ensuring all employees have equal access to advancement opportunities regardless of gender.
• We provide parental leave policies that are inclusive of all genders, recognizing that caregiving responsibilities extend beyond traditional gender roles. Our policies ensure that all parents have the opportunity to bond with their children and support their families without facing career setbacks.

Ethnic and Racial Diversity

• We actively encourage applications from candidates of diverse ethnic and racial backgrounds. We employ bias-free recruitment practices to ensure that our hiring processes are fair and inclusive.
• We actively promote and support the celebration of various cultural events throughout the year. Our company calendar includes important cultural and religious holidays, and we encourage employees to share their traditions and customs through events and storytelling.

Disability Inclusion

• Recognising that disabilities are diverse, we offer personalised accommodations tailored to the specific needs of each employee. This might include specialised equipment, software, flexible working hours, or the ability to work from home.
• We provide equal opportunities for career development and advancement for employees with disabilities. This includes tailored training programs, mentorship opportunities, and clear, accessible pathways for promotion.
• We are committed to continuous learning and improvement in our approach to disability inclusion. We remain open to feedback, suggestions, and new ideas, and are dedicated to evolving our practices to better meet the needs of our diverse workforce.

Age Diversity

• We ensure that our hiring practices are free from age discrimination and bias. Job postings are crafted to attract candidates of all ages, and recruitment processes focus on assessing qualifications, skills, and fit for the role, regardless of age.
• Our formal mentoring programs are designed to pair younger employees with more experienced colleagues, facilitating the transfer of knowledge and fostering professional growth. These programs also allow more seasoned employees to gain fresh insights and stay connected with new industry trends. This not only helps bridge the digital divide but also promotes a culture of mutual respect and learning.
• We recognize that career paths may vary based on individual circumstances and aspirations. Employees are encouraged to explore different career paths within the organisation, and support is provided to facilitate transitions and career advancement, regardless of age.
• We foster a culture of mutual respect where employees of all ages feel valued and appreciated for their contributions. Ageist attitudes and stereotypes are actively challenged, and all employees are encouraged to contribute their unique perspectives and insights.

Religious and Cultural Inclusion

• We allow leaves for significant religious ceremonies and obligations, ensuring that employees do not have to compromise on their important religious practices.
• We foster an environment where religious and cultural attire is respected and accepted. Employees are encouraged to dress in accordance with their religious or cultural beliefs, and no one is discriminated against based on their attire.
• We actively seek feedback from our employees about how well our policies and practices meet their needs for religious and cultural expression and accommodation.

Responsibilities and Accountability

All employees and suppliers of Cubic Promote are expected to uphold and advance the principles of this policy. Management bears the responsibility for creating an inclusive environment and will be held accountable for the successful implementation of this policy.

• All employees are expected to adhere to the policy and contribute to an inclusive workplace. Discrimination, harassment, or any form of exclusion will not be tolerated.
• Managers and supervisors are required to support this policy fully and apply its principles in good faith.
