The RIHS are determined to developing an environment that is free from any kind of bullying or harassment. We have zero tolerance for such acts and take strict action against the offenders.
DISCRIMINATION: Direct discrimination occurs when someone is treated unfavorably because of a personal characteristic. Indirect Discrimination occurs when a rule seems neutral, but has a discriminatory impact on certain people.
SEXUAL HARASSMENT:Includes unwanted conduct of a sexual nature in the circumstances, in which it could make a person feel offended, humiliated or intimidated.
BULLYING: Bullying may include behavior that is directed toward an employee, or a group of employees, e.g. physical and/or verbal abuse, excluding or isolating individuals; or giving unrealistic tasks or deadlines.
Employees must report any behavior that constitutes sexual harassment, bullying or discrimination to their section head or the First Response Officer (FRO) of the relevant committee. Employees will not be victimized or treated unfairly for raising an issue or making a complaint.
