Recruitment on merit

Equal pay for equal work
Pay is set against the role and its responsibilities, then reviewed for gaps that cannot be explained by either.
Sites specified for everyone
Facilities, personal protective equipment and shift arrangements are specified for the whole workforce.
Respect for rights and customs
Conduct on site and in the host district is held to one standard, applied to every person without exception.
A workforce that reflects the district.
