Harassment Free Workplace
At Vantage Foods, we provide a safe and respectful workplace for all staff, contractors, and customers. We believe:
- No individual (employee, contractor, supplier, or a member of the public) will be harassed, at any time, for any reason
- No individual has the right to harass anyone else, whether at work or in any situation related to employment at Vantage Foods
- In addition to the legislative and regulatory protection against harassment, everyone has the right to work in an environment free of sexual harassment, physical intimidation, or other forms of harassment
Employee Responsibility
At Vantage, we mandate:
- All employees to treat each other with respect and report (in confidence) incidents of harassment (of themselves or others)
- All employees have the right and the responsibility to report harassment to the appropriate person without prejudice
Vantage Foods’ Responsibility
As an employer, we will take any report of harassment seriously. We commit to:
- Maintaining confidentiality as necessary and appropriate
- Investigating all complaints to insure they are resolved quickly, confidentially and fairly
- Disciplining any individual who is determined to have harassed another person or group, regardless of the type of harassment involved (sexual, physical or mental intimidation, or creating a toxic work environment)
Because of the serious nature of these complaints, similar disciplinary action may apply to anyone who is found to have submitted a frivolous, vindictive, or unfounded complaint of harassment against another person.
Vantage Foods has formal policies and procedures that outline our specific position on ensuring an harassment free workplace. Employees can access this information in their Employee Handbook.
