  1. Non-Discrimination: We strictly prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, colour, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law. This applies to all areas of our operations, including hiring, promotion, discipline, termination, compensation, benefits, and all other terms and conditions of employment.

  2. Inclusion: We are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace, where everyone feels valued, respected, and able to contribute to their full potential. We believe that diverse teams are more innovative and productive, and we strive to create a culture that values the unique backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives of all employees.

  3. Accommodation: We will provide reasonable accommodation for employees with disabilities or religious beliefs or practices, as required by law, unless doing so would cause undue hardship. If you require accommodation, please contact us.

  4. Harassment: We have zero tolerance for harassment of any kind. All employees are expected to behave in a professional and respectful manner towards each other and our customers. Any incidents of harassment should be reported immediately to management.

  5. Training and Development: We are committed to providing equal opportunities for training and development for all employees. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to develop their skills and advance their careers.

  6. Recruitment: We strive to recruit a diverse workforce. All employment decisions are based on business needs, job requirements, and individual qualifications, without regard to race, colour, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

  7. Accountability: Managers and supervisors are responsible for implementing and enforcing this policy in their respective areas. Any violations of this policy will result in appropriate disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.

  8. Reporting: We encourage employees to report any concerns or violations of this policy to their manager or to help@thesmallbusinesshandbook.com. All reports will be investigated promptly and confidentially, and no retaliation will be tolerated against anyone who makes a good-faith report of discrimination or harassment.
