We create a positive work environment
We share a responsibility to maintain a positive and respectful work environment that’s free of discrimination and harassment.
We strictly prohibit unlawful discrimination based on race, color, religion, creed, gender, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, pregnancy, ancestry, national origin, age, citizenship status, marital status, military or veteran status, mental or physical disability, medical condition, genetic information, and any other factor protected by applicable law.
We also do not tolerate any harassment (sexual or otherwise), bullying, or intimidation. This applies in the workplace and any work-related setting, such as while attending a business trip, business meeting or business-related social event, or while participating in a business phone or video conference call.
If you see or learn of any discrimination, harassment, bullying, or intimidation, you should immediately report it to your manager or supervisor. However, if you are unable to address your concerns with your manager or supervisor, your human resources business partner can also help you, or you can access a full list of resources here. If you are being harassed, you should immediately reach out to your human resources business partner or the Ethics Hotline. Managers and supervisors are required to report any suspected or reported violations to their human resources business partners, the Ethics Hotline, or their Employee Relations Team.
