Harassment Policy for 2eleven
Policy Statement
2eleven is committed to maintaining a work environment that is free from harassment, discrimination, and any form of offensive behavior. We believe that every employee has the right to work in a professional atmosphere that promotes equal employment opportunities and prohibits discriminatory practices, including harassment. Harassment, whether verbal, physical, or visual, is strictly prohibited and will not be tolerated.
Definition of Harassment
Harassment is unwelcome conduct that is based on race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, gender identity, and sexual orientation), national origin, age, disability, genetic information, or any other characteristic protected by law. Harassment becomes unlawful when:
- Enduring the offensive conduct becomes a condition of continued employment.
- The conduct is severe or pervasive enough to create a work environment that a reasonable person would consider intimidating, hostile, or abusive.
Examples of harassment include, but are not limited to:
- Verbal harassment, such as derogatory comments, slurs, or jokes.
- Physical harassment, such as unwanted touching, assault, or physical interference with normal work or movement.
- Visual harassment, such as offensive posters, cartoons, or drawings.
- Threats and intimidation, whether verbal or physical.
- Retaliation for reporting harassment or participating in an investigation.
Scope of the Policy
This policy applies to all employees, applicants, contractors, vendors, and visitors to the company. It covers conduct that occurs:
- At the workplace.

- Manager or Supervisor: Employees may also report concerns to their direct manager or supervisor.
All complaints will be taken seriously and investigated promptly and thoroughly. Confidentiality will be maintained to the extent possible, consistent with the need to conduct a thorough investigation.
