Diversity & Equality and personal contact
Diversity is an important part of our culture and the department’s diversity strategy [which encompasses equal opportunities] impacts upon the way we deal with our customers. Aspects of diversity include:
- being aware of the different cultures and people that exist in our customer base
- not treating people less favourably because of obvious differences, for example age/race/gender
- recognising our prejudices and then questioning them before we act or speak.
