Equality & Diversity

Kier Group recognises that its underlying success depends on recruiting and retaining the right people and encouraging them to reach their full potential.

Our equality of treatment fosters a culture of co-operation and mutual respect everywhere we work and underpins the high quality of our products and services. Our companies recruit on merit. To get the best candidates for our various businesses, we consider and recruit applicants from all sectors of the community and the diverse nature of our workforce is a direct reflection of this. We do, however, recognise the need for all employees to possess the levels of skill and knowledge appropriate to the roles they perform in delivering the quality of service our clients expect.

Statement of Intent
Kier Group plc and its subsidiary companies (the Companies) are equality and diversity employers. The Companies’ policy is to ensure that all job applicants, employees and contractors are treated equally. We do not discriminate against staff on the basis of ‘protected characteristics’. Protected characteristics include gender, disability, race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, religion or belief, marital status or civil partner status, age and pregnancy and maternity.  This policy applies equally to the treatment of our visitors, clients, customers and suppliers by our staff and the treatment of our staff by these third parties. The Companies value the diverse nature of the people they employ and seek to manage any diversity issues which arise in a fair and sensitive manner.
