NAB is committed to ensuring a workplace free from discrimination and providing equality of opportunity in employment for everyone. We have a range of equal opportunity and anti-discrimination policies, practices and initiatives across the Group including:
These policies are monitored and enforced through compliance training and compliance gates in performance scorecards.
In addition, Bank of New Zealand has produced a booklet called 'A Matter of Respect - Guidelines for Appropriate Behaviour at Work'. This booklet aims to raise employee awareness of what behaviours are required at work, and what behaviour may be considered unacceptable due to being discriminatory, or involving harassment and bullying. Key people within New Zealand have been trained in dealing with harassment and discrimination cases.
In the UK, we have signed the 'Dignity at work' Charter, which addresses bullying in the workplace. The Charter is a joint initiative between Unite, the finance sector union, and the UK Department of Trade and Industry. We are working together to implement the Charter.
