Respectful Workplace Commitment

Our Commitment to You, to Our Campuses, to Our Students, to Our Community.

We are committed to building and maintaining a workplace that is respectful and professional towards all employees, volunteers, contractors, students, and other persons visiting the work place and public service environment.

Respect for one another is fundamental to working in an effective, efficient and innovative manner.  Disrespectful or unprofessional communications and behavior can disrupt the proper functioning of work units.  The Human Resources Team ensures a respectful workplace free of disrespectful and unprofessional communications or behavior by providing effective and non-retaliatory problem solving processes that address concerns.

Employees are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that demonstrates professionalism and respect for others in the workplace.  Employees can support a respectful workplace by reporting incidents that may violate this policy to the Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO), Megan Zothman, or their supervisor.  The CHRO and supervisor are expected to take timely and appropriate action when a complaint (informal or formal) is made alleging violation of this policy.  Retaliation is prohibited against any employee who initiates a complaint.

Together we can ensure our workplace environment is a safe place for all of our employees to thrive professionally, mentally, emotionally, and physically.
