1. GETREMED POLICY FOR ADDRESSING VIOLENCE AND HARASSMENT ISSUES
Intro
At GETREMED, no form of direct or indirect discrimination, victimization, intimidation or sexual harassment is tolerated and the principle of equal treatment is ensured. The company's policy for addressing the above issues aims to develop a working environment that respects, promotes and ensures the right of every person to a world of work free from violence and harassment. Forms of violent and harassing behaviour can take place in the workplace, including public and private spaces and places where the employee provides work, receives remuneration, takes breaks, in particular, for rest or for meals, in areas of personal hygiene and care, changing rooms or accommodation and during their journeys to and from work, other journeys, travel, training, as well as work-related events and social activities and work-related communications, including those carried out through information and communication technologies.
The purpose of this policy of our company is to promote the development of a working environment regardless of the contractual status of employees (including those employed under a contract of employment, independent services, salaried mandate, interns and apprentices) in which harassment and intimidation are prohibited and where employees will have the certainty that their problem will be addressed with discrimination and responsibility by the company.
