It is the policy of CSU that employees maintain a working environment that encourages mutual respect, promotes civil and congenial relationships among employees and is free from all forms of harassment and violence.
Objective
This policy identifies CSU responsibility and the employee responsibility as it relates to conduct and working environment.
Procedures
Employees are expected to conduct themselves in an appropriate manner as judged by a reasonable person. Employees have the right to conduct their work without disorderly or undue interference from other employees. CSU prohibits employees from violating this right of their co-workers.
CSU encourages a congenial work environment of respect and professionalism. Therefore, CSU prohibits employees from intentionally harming or threatening to harm other employees, clients, vendors, visitors or property belonging to any of these parties. This prohibition includes but is not limited to intentional acts such as:
- Physically harming others
- Verbally abusing others
- Using intimidation tactics and making threats
- Sabotaging another's work
- Stalking others
- Making false statements about others with malice that cause harm
- Publicly disclosing another's private information
Employees are responsible for maintaining their work area in a neat and professional manner. Employees should report to their supervisor any potential violation of the stated policy.
Employees are responsible for assuring the security of CSU confidential
or proprietary material in their possession and similarly maintaining
the security of the CSU provided equipment. Employees concerned
for the security of their
work area or equipment must inform their supervisor of such concerns.
CSU may take disciplinary action against employees whose conduct violates this or other CSU policies and procedures. The supervisor should consult the department manager and/or the Human Resources Manager on such matters.
