Non-discrimination and Anti-Harassment Policy
Read our Non discrimination and Anti Harassment Policy.
The "Non-discrimination and Anti-Harassment Policy " of the Arab Academy for Science, Technology, and Maritime Transport is designed to create a workplace environment characterized by mutual respect and equal employment opportunities for all employees. It explicitly prohibits any form of unlawful discrimination, including harassment, regardless of whether it occurs within the workplace or in work-related settings outside the office. The policy aims to ensure that employees are aware of their rights and that any complaints of discrimination or harassment will be thoroughly investigated and addressed. It defines key terms such as equal employment opportunity, retaliation, sexual harassment, discrimination, and harassment conduct, providing clear guidelines on what constitutes unacceptable behavior. The policy emphasizes that no one should discriminate or exclude individuals based on protected characteristics to avoid harassment charges. It outlines procedures for reporting incidents of harassment, discrimination, or retaliation and assures confidentiality during investigations. The policy also highlights that retaliatory actions will be treated as seriously as harassment or discrimination, with responsive actions ranging from training to disciplinary measures as deemed appropriate by the academy
