Dignity at Work: Please remember that the Fun Run event is an ‘extension’ of the workplace and therefore Almac’s policies continue to apply at the event itself. We are committed to providing an environment where everyone shows respect and consideration for one another and is free from types of behaviour which may undermine someone’s dignity, therefore any form of harassment, sexual harassment or bullying will not be tolerated. We want all those who attend, be they employee or external to Almac, to feel comfortable and to enjoy this event. Any participant who is aware of any incident that may contradict this should contact Amy Neill.
