To support the delivery of our vision, we are asking organisations within the Scottish photonics sector to commit to our ‘Opening up Photonics Principles’.
Diversity in recruitment
Making diversity in recruitment a priority by striving to hire a workforce as diverse as the communities in which we operate. There should be particular focus on senior management positions, but this also applies to apprenticeships, placements, and other employment opportunities.
Encouraging all employees, irrespective of their background, to apply for any position or training that fits their skill and experience.
Ensuring the importance of diversity is advertised in recruitment campaigns and communicated regularly to all people within your organisation.
Education & training
Provide education and training to help create an inclusive, collaborative, accountable culture which enables the skills, talent, experiences and diversity of employees to flourish.
Accessibility in the workplace
Creating an accessible workplace in which every individual feels supported and inspired to operate to their full potential.
