Do they have an equal opportunities policy?
Boots' own Web site makes the following statement:
"We're committed to encouraging everyone to contribute in an environment where they feel respected and valued. We constantly monitor the make-up of our workforce in terms of ethnic origin, gender, age and disability. We've been running a series of briefings which help people acknowledge and value the many ways in which we're different. These sessions communicate what harassment and discrimination actually mean, how to recognise them when a colleague is being affected, and how to take action."
