working at bpost

At bpost, we strive to create an inclusive workplace that embraces a wide range of backgrounds, beliefs and identities – including religious and ideological diversity.

To embrace this diversity in a respectful and workable way, we make clear agreements about:

• Visible signs of religious or ideological nature
• Religious activities in the workplace

For certain roles where our employees have direct and regular contact with customers or citizens, we ask that they do not wear visible religious or ideological symbols. This is in line with the principle of neutrality in public services.

This guideline applies to roles such as:

• Counter clerks
• Customer advisors
• Reception services
• Mail carriers with customer contact
• Team leaders Collect & Distribution
• Bank & Insurance staff

For other roles, visible religious or ideological signs are accepted, provided that:

• They comply with legislation and the bpost code of conduct;
• They do not promote proselytism, hatred, discrimination, or rejection of social pluralism;
• They do not compromise safety, hygiene or fitness for work.

Through this policy, we aim to ensure a safe, inclusive and neutral working environment where everyone feels welcome and customers are treated equally.
