Open communication and feedback are regarded as essential elements of a satisfying and productive work environment. We encourage our employees to resolve any issues or concerns with each other respectfully and at the earliest opportunity and to report workplace concerns as soon as they arise.
Employees with concerns about workplace matters who have been unsuccessful in reaching a satisfactory resolution through discussion with their manager or divisional leadership, or who are looking for more information, are encouraged to contact the Office of Human Resources.

Anti-Retaliation Policy
The College encourages its employees to make grievance reports of College-related misconduct. Retaliation as a response to such a report will not be tolerated. Retaliation, whether actual or threatened, destroys a sense of community and trust that is central to a quality work environment.
No employee will be disciplined or otherwise retaliated against for reporting alleged misconduct.
Any employee who believes he or she may have been subject to retaliation for making a complaint should report the suspected retaliation as outlined in the Grievance Procedure. Employees determined to have engaged in retaliatory behavior will be subject to discipline, up to and including termination.
