We do not tolerate discrimination in our workplace and take allegations such as this very seriously. We are committed to creating an environment where all employees feel valued and included. We provide multiple channels for employees or third parties to report inappropriate behavior and protect persons making reports or participating in investigations from retaliation. One such channel for employees is the “Ombudsman System” tool, which can be found within the Employee Voice Channels page. We encourage you to reach out through any of these channels so we can learn more, and we’ll promptly investigate it.
