Managing Diversity. Ramsay Health Care is committed to providing a working environment where everyone is free to achieve his or her best. This means an environment where diversity is valued by recognising and respecting the differences in our employees. It also refers to the intention to provide an environment that is free from all forms of harassment and discrimination on the basis of race, colour, sexual preference, age, disability, marital status, pregnancy, religion, political opinion, national extraction, social origin or family or carer’s responsibilities. Where staff may celebrate cultural or religious days of observance, which do not coincide with existing public holidays, their requests for annual leave on these days will not be unreasonably refused. Harassment is uninvited, unwelcomed comments or behaviour. Ramsay Health Care will not tolerate harassment, including sexual harassment, at any level and disciplinary action (which may include termination or employment) will be taken in substantiated cases. An employee subject to harassing behaviour in the workplace should make the person aware that their behaviour is unwelcome. If the employee does not feel able to bring the matter to their attention, or if the behaviour persists, it should be raised with any manager with whom the employee feels comfortable discussing it or with one of the appointed and trained Contact Offices for the Business Unit. All complaints will be dealt with fairly, promptly and professionally, maintaining confidentiality and endeavouring to ensure protection from victimisation. All staff are required to complete the educational module on workplace bullying and harassment on an annual basis.
