Diversity and Equal Opportunities
RTÉ is an equal opportunities employer. We endeavour to handle all relationships with staff, and potential staff, with understanding, courtesy and respect, recognising the individuality and dignity of each person.
Our success depends on people. We recognise that we are a community of individuals with our own backgrounds and beliefs. Everyone working in RTÉ brings his or her own distinctive experiences, skills and talents to the Organisation. We value the uniqueness of individuals and embrace their different perspectives and experiences, recognising that this is what enhances the way we do business.
We endeavour to create an environment, representative of and responsive to different cultures and groups, where everyone has an equal chance to realise their full potential.
We, both as an employer and broadcaster, promote equality in valuing the contribution of all people. As an employer, we recognise that encouragement of diversity and provision of equality of opportunity are essential to the efficiency and effectiveness of our work and to good relations among staff. We recognise that our workforce should reflect the diversity of our society.
In implementing a diversity programme we work to ensure best practice in work/personal life balance. We acknowledge the growing social concern of staff to achieve a balance between paid work and the demands of personal life. We implement a range of practices that help people to combine and manage their working lives with responsibilities and interests outside the workplace.
RTÉ’s Values
RTÉ’s Values shape the way we do business, contributing to our success and informing our choices and actions.
RTÉ employs a wide variety of professional and highly-skilled people – for example, we employ the greatest number of musicians, journalists and producers in Ireland. The combination of committed and creative in-house staff in all aspects of output and a burgeoning independent production sector leave RTÉ strongly positioned to face the many challenges of the ever-changing media landscape. This creative focus is very ably supported by an array of equally committed backroom staff in Administration, Communications, Legal Services, Finance, Property & Services, HR and Technology.
Our Values lay out the qualities that we aspire to for all our staff and for the Organisation. They help form our culture and make us a unique Organisation. The Values describe clearly what all of us can and must do. The Values should inform our choices and actions. The Values are to:
- Operate in the public interest, providing news and current affairs that is fair and impartial, accurate and challenging
- Connect with our audiences by understanding and satisfying their needs
- Deliver a value for money service
- Be creative in everything we do
- Be honest and transparent in all our activities
- Take personal responsibility for pursuing the Organisation’s goals
- Be responsible to our staff and consider everyone as an individual
- Optimise the performance of each person, department, division and the Organisation by working together
- Respect each other and our diversity
- Take pride in everything we do, everything we are and everything we create.
We believe these Values leverage our history and heritage, distinguish us from our competitors and build on our unique skills.
