Employment & Skills Policy
Purpose and scope
Rad Trans Limited aims to provide fair employment and help people develop the skills needed to work safely and effectively in courier and transport operations. This policy applies to employees and managers. Agency workers and subcontracted drivers must have the competence required for their assignments.
Fair recruitment and employment
We recruit on the basis of skills, experience and suitability for the role, treat applicants and employees fairly, and do not tolerate unlawful discrimination, harassment or victimisation. We check right to work and relevant licences and qualifications before work begins.
Induction and training
New employees receive an induction relevant to their duties. Drivers are briefed on vehicle checks, defect reporting, safe loading, customer requirements and relevant procedures. Training is refreshed when duties, equipment or requirements change.
Driver competence
Before assigning work we check driving entitlement and any role-specific qualifications or authorisations. We monitor expiry dates where relevant and arrange or require training, including Driver CPC where applicable. Drivers must report changes affecting their entitlement or ability to work safely.
Development and review
Managers discuss performance and training needs and consider coaching, mentoring, external training and progression opportunities within available resources. Directors oversee this policy; managers keep appropriate records; employees follow instructions and required training. We review the policy at least annually.
