Equality, Diversity & Inclusion

Our Position

RJV Technologies Ltd was founded on a single organizing principle where the quality of reasoning determines outcomes and not the identity of the person doing the reasoning.

This is not a position adopted for compliance purposes.

It is the structural foundation of how this company operates, how it selects the people it works with and how it evaluates every decision it makes.

The most consequential problems in science, technology and enterprise are solved by people who can think correctly about difficult things.

Correct thinking is not correlated with nationality, gender, age, ethnicity, religion, socioeconomic background, formal educational credential or any other characteristic unrelated to the quality of the analytical work.

We hire, engage and collaborate on that basis without exception.

Our Legal Obligations

RJV Technologies Ltd complies fully with the Equality Act 2010.

We do not discriminate against, harass or victimize any person on the basis of any protected characteristic as defined in the Act where age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation.

This applies to all aspects of our activities including employment and recruitment;

engagement of consultants, contractors and advisers;

delivery of services to clients and the operation of this website.

Employment and Engagement

All decisions regarding employment, engagement, promotion, remuneration, training and termination at RJV Technologies are made solely on the basis of relevant ability, skill, experience and conduct.

We do not apply criteria or processes that disadvantage any group with a protected characteristic unless such application is a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate objective.

We do not tolerate discrimination, bullying, harassment or victimization in any form from or directed at any person connected with this company with any employees, contractors, clients or members of the public.

Service Delivery

RJV Technologies provides its services to all clients on the same terms, assessed on the same criteria, regardless of any characteristic of the client organization or its leadership.

We do not offer preferential access, preferential pricing, or differential service quality on any basis other than the scope and requirements of the engagement.

We make reasonable adjustments to our service delivery approach where requested, to ensure that clients with particular needs can access and benefit from our work on an equal basis.

Diversity as Analytical Strength

The evidence on cognitive diversity is unambiguous where teams that bring genuinely different perspectives, reasoning styles, knowledge domains and life experiences to difficult problems consistently outperform homogeneous teams on the same problems.

RJV Technologies actively seeks this kind of diversity not as a social obligation but as an analytical competitive advantage.

The quality of our work depends on the quality of the thinking applied to it.

Anything that artificially narrows the range of perspectives available to that work makes the work worse.

We will not allow that to happen for any reason, including but not limited to the demographic characteristics of the people we work with.

Raising a Concern

If you believe that RJV Technologies has acted in a manner inconsistent with this statement whether in its employment practices, service delivery or any other aspect of its operations please contact us directly via the Contact page.

All concerns will be investigated promptly, confidentially and without prejudice.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you have the right to raise the matter with the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) at equalityhumanrights.com.
