Executive Service Corps'
Nondiscrimination and Anti-Harassment Policy
Executive Service Corps is committed to a work environment in which all individuals are treated with respect and dignity. Each individual has the right to work in a professional atmosphere that promotes equal employment opportunities and prohibits unlawful discriminatory practices, including harassment. Therefore, the Executive Service Corps expects that all relationships among persons in the office will be business-like and free of bias, prejudice and harassment.
Executive Service Corps has developed this policy to ensure that all its employees can work in an environment free from unlawful harassment, discrimination, and retaliation.
Equal employment opportunity
It is the policy of the Executive Service Corps to ensure equal employment opportunity without discrimination or harassment on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability, marital status, citizenship, national origin, genetic information, or any other characteristic protected by law. Executive Service Corps prohibits any such discrimination or harassment.
Harassment
Harassment on the basis of any other protected characteristic is also strictly prohibited. Under this policy, harassment is verbal, written or physical conduct that denigrates or shows hostility or aversion toward an individual because of their race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, age, disability, marital status, citizenship, genetic information, or any other characteristic protected by law, or that of their relatives, friends or associates, and that: a) has the purpose or effect of creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment, b) has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual’s work performance or c) otherwise adversely affects an individual’s employment opportunities.
Harassing conduct includes epithets, slurs, or negative stereotyping; threatening, intimidating or hostile acts; denigrating jokes; and written or graphic material that denigrates or shows hostility or aversion toward an individual or group that is placed on walls or elsewhere on the employer’s premises or circulated in the workplace, on company time or using company equipment by email, phone (including messages), text messages, social networking sites, or other means.

These policies apply to all applicants and employees, whether related to conduct engaged in by fellow employees or by someone not directly connected to Executive Service Corps (e.g. an outside vendor, consultant, or customer.).
