  1. Workplace Behaviors Created for Learning Sciences International June 2010

  2. We’re going to talk about: • Sexual Harassment • Respect in the Workplace • LSI’s Company Culture

  3. Sexual Harassment • Two types of Sexual Harassment • Quid Pro Quo • If you do “x” for me, I’ll give you “y” • Hostile Environment • Harder to describe with one example – but it’s anything that can make the work environment unpleasant for others • Can be anything from a bikini calendar displayed to lewd jokes told to unacceptable touching

  4. Sexual Harassment (cont) • Avoid issues by considering the Golden Rule • If you have to question the appropriateness of an action/statement, then it’s probably not appropriate • It can happen unintentionally - you may be joking but the person on the receiving end may be uncomfortable

  5. Sexual Harassment (cont) • LSI recently had a charge brought against the company for sexual harassment by a former employee • The evidence indicated the situation was simply a misunderstanding, but it illustrates that the charges can arise • Better communication practices as well as consideration for others could have prevented this charge

  6. Complaint Procedure • Reports of possible sexual harassment need to be directed to your direct supervisor; if the direct supervisor is involved in the complaint, any other member of leadership or the HR department can accept your complaint • All complaints will be investigated fully, to include examining emails and company communication methods • Complaints and investigations are handled with complete confidentiality

  7. Complaint Procedure (cont) • Appropriate disciplinary procedures, up to and including termination, will be applied based on the outcome of the investigation • False complaints will result in disciplinary action

  8. Sexual Harassment & Complaint Procedure • Questions? • Contact information: • HR Generalist Katie Boone • 724.459.2100 x114 • 717.817.8390 • kboone@learningsciences.net

  9. Respect in the Workplace • LSI’s core practice “One-Team” can only be achieved by mutual respect among the team members

  10. Respect in the Workplace • Tiny actions convey respect • Tiny actions often get overlooked in the busy day, when deadlines are pressing down and when stressful situations arise • Be aware of how you are speaking to others • Be aware that others also have their jobs to perform

  11. Respect in the Workplace • Teamwork means Working as a Team • Coordinate with others regarding yours needs, rather than telling others to do something • Follow the Golden Rule – Do unto others as you would have done unto you

  12. Company Culture • One Team • Work together across physical and departmental boundaries, creating a “boundaryless” environment • High accountability = High quality results
