Our People
The below policies apply to corporate employees and offices worldwide.
Equal Employment Opportunity
We recruit and hire, train, compensate, promote and fulfill all other conditions of employment based on individual merit, qualifications and competency, without discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, veteran status, national origin, citizenship, ancestry, pregnancy status, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, marital status, mental or physical disability, medical condition, or any other characteristics protected by law, regulation, or ordinance that is not listed here. Fulfillment of our commitment to and promotion of equal employment opportunity requires the commitment of all employees.
We also make reasonable accommodations to meet our obligations under laws protecting the rights of the disabled.
Maintaining an Environment of Respect
Discrimination, harassment, and bullying in any form is not allowed. Review our Respectful Workplace Policy which discusses our expectations in more detail. If you believe you have been subjected to discrimination, harassment, or bullying report it immediately using one of the reporting methods above that you are comfortable with using.
All employees should use respectful and supportive language in all interactions, disagree with peers politely and professionally, give peers direct and constructive feedback rather than negative criticism, and approach conflict with maturity and seek resolutions.
Discrimination
We do not tolerate unlawful discrimination against anyone based on race, color, religion, veteran status, national origin, ancestry, pregnancy status, sex, gender identity or expression, age, sexual orientation, marital status, mental or physical disability, medical condition, or other classification protected by applicable law.
Harassment
All employees must maintain a working environment that is mutually respectful and is free from all forms of harassment. Harassment in any form - sexual, verbal, physical, or visual - is strictly against our policies and may result in disciplinary action including immediate termination.
- Verbal (for example, epithets, derogatory statements, slurs, comments, jokes or music).
- Physical (for example, assault, or inappropriate physical contact).
- Visual (for example, displaying derogatory posters, cartoons, drawings or making derogatory gestures).
- Online (for example, derogatory statements or sexually suggestive postings in any social media platform including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, etc.)
- Psychological (which includes: vexatious behavior in the form of repeated and hostile or unwanted conduct, verbal comments, actions or gestures, that affects an employee's dignity or psychological or physical integrity and that results in a harmful work environment for the employee).
Bullying
Bullying is unacceptable and we do not tolerate it under any circumstances. Bullying includes behavior that intimidates, degrades, offends, or humiliates an employee, often in front of others.
We are committed to ensuring that our employees, our contractors and our corporate guests work in a safe and respectful environment that is free of bullying. Bullying can include:
- Intentionally sabotaging someone’s work
- Personal attacks (angry outbursts, excessive profanity, or name-calling)
- Exclusion or social isolation
- Spreading malicious rumor or gossip
- Intimidating someone
- Sending offensive jokes or emails
This list is illustrative only, and not exhaustive. No form of bullying will be tolerated.
Health and Safety
We conduct business in accordance with applicable health and safety requirements. Perform your work in compliance with applicable health and safety laws, regulations, policies and procedures and apply safe work practices at all times in all locations. Communicate applicable safety and health requirements to visitors, guests or contractors. Inform Human Resources of workplace injuries, illnesses or unsafe conditions, including “near-misses.”
