Harassment Policy
IES is committed to providing a work environment that enhances productivity and is free of discrimination in the application of any assignment, policy, practice or regulation.
IES does not tolerate verbal or physical conduct by any employee or representative of IES that harasses, disrupts, or interferes with an individual's work performance or which creates an intimidating or hostile environment.
While all forms of harassment are prohibited, it is IES's policy to emphasize that sexual harassment, in any form is prohibited. Any employee or representative of IES who engages in sexual harassment is subject to discipline up to and including termination. Such conduct includes, but is not limited to the following:
1. Sexual flirtations, touching, advances, or propositions;
2. Verbal abuse of a sexual nature;
3. Graphic or suggestive comments about an individual's dress or body;
4. Sexual degrading words to describe an individual;
5. The display in the workplace of sexually suggestive objects or pictures.
Harassment includes any of the above conduct, either verbal or physical, where submission to the conduct is a term or condition of employment, submission to or rejection of the conduct is used as a basis for employment-related decisions, or such conduct interferes with an individual's work performance.
Harassment does not refer to conduct of a socially acceptable nature. It refers to behavior that is not welcome, that is personally offensive, that lowers morale and that therefore, interferes with work effectiveness.
Responsibilities: If you believe that you have been subject to any form of harassment, it is important that you report the harassment to your supervisor or human resources.
Only those members of IES staff having a need to know shall have access to information regarding any allegation of harassment.
After an investigation, a decision will be made by the appropriate management regarding the resolution of the case. You will receive information about any actions that result. If it cannot be determined that harassment has taken place, you will be informed that the evidence was inconclusive.
No employee will suffer reprisals from reporting any incidents of unlawful harassment or making any such complaint. Any incidents of further harassment or retaliation should be reported immediately.
