At Ku Ku Designs, we believe that diversity and inclusion are fundamental values that should be reflected in our policies, practices, and operations. As a business that values and respects the LGBTQ+ community, we have developed a comprehensive LGBTQ policy to ensure that we create an environment that is safe, welcoming, and inclusive for all.
Non-Discrimination Policy
We are committed to treating all employees, customers, and partners fairly and without discrimination based on their sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or any other characteristic protected under UK law. Discrimination or harassment of any kind will not be tolerated, and we will take appropriate measures to address any complaints or incidents that may occur.
Inclusive Workplace
We believe that a diverse workforce makes our business stronger, and we are committed to providing an inclusive workplace that welcomes and supports employees of all sexual orientations and gender identities. We provide training and resources to our employees to help them understand and respect LGBTQ+ issues and create an environment where everyone feels safe and valued.
Pronoun Use
We recognise that gender is a personal and complex issue, and we support the right of every individual to choose and express their gender identity. To respect and acknowledge the gender identity of our employees, customers, and partners, we encourage the use of preferred pronouns and provide resources and training to ensure that our staff can use them correctly and respectfully.
Facilities and Services
We believe that everyone should be able to use our facilities and services without fear of discrimination or harassment. We provide gender-neutral restrooms and changing facilities to accommodate everyone regardless of their gender identity. Our customer service policies prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity, and we have trained our staff to be respectful and inclusive when serving customers who identify as LGBTQ+.
Community Engagement
We believe that it is important to give back to the LGBTQ+ community and support organisations that work towards equality and inclusivity. We actively seek partnerships with LGBTQ+ organisations and events and support them through donations, sponsorships, and volunteering. We also encourage our employees to get involved in LGBTQ+ activism and support them by providing paid time off to participate in related events and activities.
Reporting and Accountability
We recognise that discrimination or harassment may occur despite our policies and practices, and we are committed to taking appropriate action to address such incidents. We provide clear reporting procedures for employees, customers, and partners to report any incidents of discrimination or harassment. We investigate all complaints promptly and take appropriate corrective action, including discipline, where necessary. We also regularly review our policies and practices to ensure that they remain effective and relevant.
Conclusion
Ku Ku Designs is committed to creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for all, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. We understand the challenges that members of the LGBTQ+ community face, and we are committed to being an ally in the fight for equality and inclusivity. We hope that our policies and practices will contribute to creating a more welcoming and accepting world for everyone.
