As employees, we are required to cooperate in any investigation. Retaliation against any person for filing a complaint or participating in an investigation will not be tolerated. Any employee or supervisor who is found through the investigation to have discriminated or retaliated against an employee in any employment practice will be subject to appropriate disciplinary action, up to and including termination. All employees are expected to contribute to a productive work environment by demonstrating behavior that does not interfere with another employee s work performance or create an intimidating, offensive or hostile environment. Harassment will not be tolerated, regardless of intent, and regardless of the victim s rejection or tolerance.
Special attention is called to the prohibition of sexual harassment.
If, for any reason, you feel uncomfortable in discussing the matter with your immediate supervisor, or feel that your supervisor has not been responsive to your complaint, report the matter to your supervisor s manager. If you also feel uncomfortable discussing the matter with this manager, or feel they have not been responsive to your complaint, report the matter to the Vice President of Human Resources or designee. All complaints of harassment will be investigated promptly. Confidentiality will be maintained to the extent reasonably possible. A timely resolution will be reached and communicated to the parties involved.
