10 Section 2 : Our Relationship with Each Other
We do not harass others in the workplace .
We are committed to providing work environments where employees are safe , valued , and respected . All of us work better when we feel safe . For this reason , we do not tolerate any form of abuse or harassment . This includes any actions that are offensive , intimidating , or discriminatory , as well as any form of harassment . Our responsibilities to each other include the following :
• Help create a work environment free of any harassment
• Do not be a by-stander by watching or encouraging harassment
• Understand that inappropriate comments of a sexual nature or any other sexually offensive behavior will not be tolerated
While individual definitions of harassment and sexual harassment may vary , at the Company we want to be very clear that we consider harassment as any severe and pervasive unwelcome conduct that has the purpose or effect of creating an intimidating , offensive , or hostile work environment . Harassment can take many forms , including physical actions , spoken and written remarks , and videos or pictures . Sexual harassment can include unwelcomed sexual advances , requests for sexual favors , or other physical or verbal conduct of a sexual nature . Regardless of its form , harassment negatively affects individual work performance and our workplace as a whole , and it will not be tolerated .
If you experience or become aware of any act of discrimination or harassment , you have a duty to report it . You will not face retaliation for making a good-faith report .
