CREA Employee Handbook (Updated 2026)

Reporting Discrimination and Harassment If you feel that you have witnessed or have been subjected to any form of discrimination or harassment, immediately notify Katy McShane, Chief Human Resources Officer, at (317) 808-7285 or via email or any member of management. The Company prohibits retaliation against employees who, based on a reasonable belief, provide information about, complain, or assist in the investigation of any complaint of harassment or discrimination. We will promptly and thoroughly investigate any claim and take appropriate action where we find a claim has merit. To the extent possible, we will retain the confidentiality of those who report suspected or alleged violations of the harassment policy. Discipline for violation of this policy may include, but is not limited to, reprimand, suspension, demotion, transfer, and discharge. If the Company determines that harassment or discrimination occurred, corrective action will be taken to effectively end the harassment. As necessary, the Company may monitor any incident of harassment or discrimination to assure the inappropriate behavior has stopped. In all cases, the Company will follow up as necessary to ensure that no individual is retaliated against for making a complaint or cooperating with an investigation. Alternative Reporting and Remedies The Company encourages you to report incidents of discrimination and harassment internally. However, if you believe you have been subjected to discrimination or harassment in violation of this policy, you may file a private civil action or file a complaint with either the Vermont Attorney General’s Office or the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). You are not required to file a complaint with the Company before taking such action. Contact Information
