Each employee, student/intern and volunteer should be aware of policies pertaining to bullying, discrimination and sexual harassment and expected standards of dress and attire.
Citipointe will not tolerate bullying from anyone. Bullying is an ongoing misuse of power in relationships through repeated verbal, physical and/or social behaviour that causes physical and/or psychological harm. It can involve an individual or a group misusing their power over one or more persons. Bullying can happen in person or online, and it can be obvious (overt) or hidden (covert). Bullying of any form or for any reason can have long-term effects on those involved, including bystanders. Single incidents and conflict or fights between equals, whether in person or online, are not defined as bullying.
Citipointe does not tolerate unlawful discrimination or harassment or any kind. Harassment is defined as any unwelcome, offensive, belittling or abusive comment or action or where a person is treated less favourably because of their gender, age, marital status, being pregnant, race, ethnic origin, impairment, political conviction, family responsibility or family status. It is behaviour towards another person which is unwanted.
