Employment policy summaries

At Royal Mail we are committed to treating everyone fairly, and with dignity and respect. Our employment policies are designed to provide information on what you can expect as an employee of Royal Mail.

The policies also include important information such as the expectations we have of employees and managers, and what support employees can expect from us in different situations.

To support managers and employees, summaries have been developed on the policies colleagues most frequently ask about. The at-a-glance summaries give an overview of the key parts of the policies so you can quickly find the information you need.*
