Employees

Acal provides equal opportunities to all employees and prospective employees, and does not discriminate on grounds of colour, ethnic origin, gender, age, religion, political or other opinion, disability or sexual orientation.

Clear and fair terms of employment, as well as a fair and competitive remuneration policy, are put in place. Employees are encouraged to develop their knowledge and skills and to progress their careers to the mutual benefit of themselves and the companies they work for. It is the responsibility of management to ensure that they comply with all local regulations, including those relating to the employment of underage staff. Local business units are responsible for developing and implementing effective arrangements for employee communication.

The Group endeavours to protect employees from, and does not tolerate any sexual, physical or mental harassment. 

Disabled employees
The Group gives full consideration to applications for employment from disabled persons where the candidate’s particular aptitudes and abilities are consistent with adequately meeting the requirements of the job. Opportunities are available to disabled employees for training, career development and promotion.

Where existing employees become disabled, it is the Group’s policy to provide continuing employment wherever practicable in the same or an alternative position and to provide appropriate training to achieve this aim.
