Policies & practices
Respectful Workplace: We have a Respectful Workplace policy which outlines that bullying and harassment will not be tolerated at the Gorman Group. Each employee reviews the policy on an annual basis, and completes specialized training to ensure their understanding.
Equal Opportunity: We are committed to fostering a workplace where all employees receive equitable employment opportunities. Recruitment, hiring, career development, and promotion practices reflect the Gorman Group’s commitment to building a highly qualified workforce that is equitable, diverse, and inclusive. We have a comprehensive Employment Recruitment, Selection, and Transfer Policy to enable equity in employment at the Gorman Group.
External Guidance: In 2021, we had an external consultant conduct a survey and provide recommendations for improvement on diversity, equity, inclusion, and psychological safety.
Gender Diversification: We recognize that a diverse team can lead to better problem solving. In 2019, we completed a confidential survey and voluntary gender roundtable discussions to understand the barriers and hurdles for those in our company.
Job Opportunities: To ensure that all qualified internal candidates have the opportunity to apply for vacant positions, we post job opportunities for a minimum 5 days via our internal communication channels. All external postings have a equal opportunity statement, as we strive to attract candidates and create a workforce that is reflective of the communities around us.
