Policies

Arbjobs implements a number of guidelines and policies that outline our respect for human rights, including our commitment to take action to prevent all forms of modern slavery. Our respect for human rights is also outlined in other policies such as our Vendor Code of Conduct, our Privacy Policy, and Job Posting Standards.

A number of internal employee guidelines also uphold human rights principles and values, including our Code of Conduct, Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Guidelines, Gift Guidelines, Anti-Bullying, Anti-Harassment & Anti-Discrimination policies, and Whistleblowing Guidelines. All employees are required to read and attest to these guidelines on an annual basis.

Due Diligence Processes

At Arbjobs, we strive to undertake human rights due diligence, in accordance with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights to identify, assess, prevent, and mitigate human rights impacts associated with our business activities and business relationships. Arbjobs aims to identify opportunities to further embed human rights into products, policies, and operations. 

We recognise that our efforts to respect human rights is an iterative process that will require us to engage with all stakeholders to whom we need to listen and from whom we need to learn. 

We recognise that some groups may be at greater risk of adverse human rights impacts due to their vulnerability or marginalisation, such as women, children, migrants and piece-workers. We strive to pay particular attention to the rights of vulnerable groups, including our jobseekers who face barriers to employment. Our Social Impact team leads initiatives designed to reduce the bias and barriers faced by marginalised groups, including job seekers with a criminal record.
