The policy applies to all aspects of employment, including hiring, promotions, pay rates, benefits, and other terms and conditions of employment. This step involves reviewing and ensuring that the company's hiring practices, personnel policies and procedures comply with federal and state laws prohibiting discrimination in employment.

This process step involves reviewing and implementing the Workplace Harassment Policy. The policy outlines the company's stance on harassment, defines what constitutes harassment, and provides a framework for reporting and addressing incidents. It also includes procedures for investigating complaints, taking disciplinary action against perpetrators, and ensuring that victims of harassment are supported and protected. This step ensures that employees understand their rights and responsibilities under the policy, and that management is held accountable for maintaining a workplace free from harassment. The implementation involves communicating the policy to all employees, providing training on recognizing and reporting harassment, and monitoring compliance with the policy.

The Incident Reporting Procedure is a documented process that enables team members to report security incidents, near misses, or potential security threats in a timely manner. This procedure ensures that all incidents are recorded, assessed, and addressed promptly to minimize their impact on the organization's assets, people, and reputation. The reporting process involves an initial notification by the team member who identified the incident, followed by a detailed report submission through the designated channel. The submitted reports are reviewed and assessed by authorized personnel for their severity, potential impact, and required response. This procedure helps to maintain transparency, accountability, and a safe working environment while promoting a culture of open communication and trust among team members.

This Investigation Procedure outlines the steps to be taken in order to thoroughly examine an issue or problem. The first step is to gather relevant information and data related to the matter at hand through research, observation, and interviews with key stakeholders. Next, the collected data is analyzed to identify patterns, trends, and potential causes of the issue. A thorough examination of existing policies, procedures, and protocols is also conducted to determine their relevance and effectiveness in addressing the problem. Afterward, a detailed report is compiled summarizing the findings, conclusions, and recommendations for resolving the issue. Finally, the report is reviewed and validated by relevant parties before being presented to stakeholders.

The Resolution and Follow-up Procedure involves reviewing customer complaints or concerns, assessing their validity, and determining an appropriate response. This includes conducting a thorough investigation into the matter, gathering relevant information, and consulting with relevant stakeholders as necessary. Once a resolution plan is developed, it must be communicated to the affected parties in a clear and timely manner. The procedure also entails monitoring the effectiveness of the implemented solution, tracking any subsequent developments or issues that may arise, and making adjustments as needed to ensure optimal outcomes. Regular follow-up checks are conducted to verify customer satisfaction and guarantee that the agreed-upon resolution is met.
