RTÉ Performing Groups
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.
