disclose the trade secret to his or her attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding so long as the individual files any document containing the trade secret under seal and does not disclose the trade secret except pursuant to court order. Open Door Policy CSB strives for an open environment that encourages employees to participate in decisions affecting them and their daily responsibilities. We believe that open and direct communication will produce a productive workplace, enhance the quality of decisions, and ultimate improve the quality and value of our products and services. Employees who have job related concerns or complaints are encouraged to discuss them with their supervisor or any other management representative with whom they feel comfortable. The discussion should occur as soon as possible after the events causing the employee’s concern. We cannot guarantee that CSB will make the changes you suggest or resolve your concern in the way you would prefer, but your voicing your concerns will give us the opportunity to address them and provide important feedback for us in our efforts to improve the school and our work environment. No employee will be disciplined or otherwise penalized for raising a good faith concern. This open door policy is an important tool for maintaining the School's environment of mutual respect and for resolving individual or group differences informally without fear of retaliation. III . Standards of Professional i sm This section outlines the general standards of professionalism expected of all CSB staff members. CSB’s reputation and success are determined by the work that we do and by the employees who represent us. Regardless of whether a staff member is interacting with students, parents, trustees, alumni, colleagues, or the general public, the manner in which employees conduct themselves should reflect the standards of professionalism expected by the school. Attributes such as personal appearance, behavior, habits, and communication play a major role in communicating those expectations to the public and generating confidence in the School. CSB recognizes that in a professional work environment like ours, most employees take responsibility for ensuring that their own behavior complies with the school’s standards. At times, however, it may become necessary for the School to intervene when an employee fails to meet the school’s expectations regarding performance, attendance, conduct, or other standards. The School has the sole discretion to determine whether circumstances warrant disciplinary action and, if so, what type of action is warranted. Examples of School responses include, but are not limited to, verbal warnings, written warnings, suspension with or without pay, and termination. Nothing in this policy alters the “at will” nature of employment.
