If you believe that you are the target of discrimination or harassment, you should do the following:
(i) If possible, document or otherwise record each incident of alleged discrimination or harassment, including the date, time, place, what was said or done, and the surrounding circumstances.
(ii) Clearly and directly communicate to the offending individual that his/her conduct is unwelcome, and request that the offensive behavior stop.
(iii) At the same time, you should immediately bring the matter to the attention of your manager. If your manager is somehow involved in the discrimination/harassment, or if you are uncomfortable talking to him or her, you should report this matter to your manager’s manager, the Human Resources Department, any Vice President, any Chief Executive, or the President. If you believe that you have been deprived of any job benefit or that you have been threatened, you should immediately report it to one of the individuals listed above. We will protect the confidentiality of discrimination/harassment allegations to the extent possible and appropriate under the circumstances. We will actively investigate all discrimination/harassment complaints, and if it is determined that discrimination or harassment has occurred, management will take appropriate disciplinary action against the offending party, up to and including termination.
