Equal Opportunities Statement
At Picolab Technologies Ltd., we are committed to establish and protect a diverse, inclusive, and respectful work environment where all individuals are treated with fairness and respect. We uphold equal opportunity in employment and strive to ensure that no individual faces discrimination or harassment based on protected characteristics such as age, disability, gender identity, marital or civil partnership status, pregnancy or maternity, race, color, nationality, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation, or any other status protected by applicable laws.

Our Commitment
Our commitment to equal opportunity applies to every aspect of employment, including recruitment, training, promotion, compensation, benefits, and termination. We evaluate all employees and applicants solely on the basis of their qualifications, skills, and abilities, ensuring that opportunities are provided equitably and fairly.

Zero Tolerance for Discrimination and Harassment
Picolab does not tolerate any form of discrimination, harassment, or victimization. This includes direct or indirect discrimination, unwelcome behavior that creates a hostile or offensive environment, or retaliation against anyone who raises concerns about such conduct. We are dedicated to providing a workplace free of harassment of any kind, including but not limited to sexual harassment, verbal abuse, and intimidation.

Inclusive Practices

Recruitment and Selection: All recruitment, promotion, and selection processes are conducted transparently, ensuring a diverse pool of applicants is considered based on merit, qualifications, skills, and abilities. We avoid practices or language that could discourage any group from applying.
Workplace Practices: Part-time, fixed-term, and full-time employees are treated equitably. All employees enjoy terms and conditions that are fair and aligned with their roles, without prejudice or bias.
Training and Development: Picolab is dedicated to ensuring that all employees have equal access to training and career development opportunities.

Reporting Concerns
Employees are encouraged to report any instances of discrimination, harassment, or unfair treatment. We try our best to ensure a confidential reporting process, so that all involved entities feel safe and report without any hesitation. All reports will be handled with sensitivity, confidentiality, and urgency. Retaliation against individuals who raise concerns will not be tolerated.
