All of our policies and procedures are designed to support employees in furthering their education, skills, life goals, and involvement with family and community.

Diversity and Equal Opportunity

 

Market Street Research’s policy is that all employment practices and personnel actions, including hiring, transfers, promotions, compensation, benefits, and training, be without regard to race, color, age, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, culture, national origin, political beliefs, religion, disability, military status, or status as a disabled, special disabled, recently separated, Armed Forces Service Medal, or other protected veteran. To the extent possible, we use vendors who meet our diversity goals, which include equal opportunity for and non-discrimination for all persons.

 

Americans With Disabilities Act

 

Market Street Research’s facility in Northampton, MA is accessible to people with physical disabilities. The main part of our building is one-story, street level, and has accessible bathrooms, hallways, and doors. Ample parking is available within 20 feet of the main entrance to the building, which has a ramp. Market Street Research has a policy of non-discrimination toward people with physical, mental, and emotional disabilities, to the extent possible given current communications technology and limits on our ability to alter the physical structure of the building, which is older, multi-story, and was constructed before ADA compliance was required of developers in Northampton. However, we do employ people with disabilities and our policy is to accommodate these individuals so that their work environment is pleasant, accessible, and adaptive to their unique needs. Market Street Research is a smoke-free workplace.
