Women-Friendly Workplace Campaign Employer's Pledge
Sign the Pledge
[Name of company or employer] hereby pledges to support our employees and
honor our customers/clients by ensuring a Women-Friendly
Workplace. We pledge that we:
- Treat all customers/clients
equally and with respect, without regard to their sex, race, sexual orientation,
age, marital or family status, pregnancy, parenthood, disability or size.
- Provide a workplace
free of discrimination based on sex, race, sexual orientation, age, marital
or family status, pregnancy, parenthood, disability or size.
- Support all employees
in their efforts to balance work and family responsibilities. In this regard,
we not only meet the minimum requirements of the law but also strive toward
policies that are genuinely family-friendly. (Such policies might include
paid sick leave, flex-time, job sharing, child care and/or elder care benefits,
family and medical leave for companies not legally obligated to provide
it.)
- Do not tolerate sexual
or racial harassment. We educate all employees, including management, with
regard to these policies and rigorously enforce them.
- Ensure that any allegation
of sexual or racial harassment, sexual assault and sex or race discrimination
are promptly and thoroughly investigated. Employees making such allegations
are protected from retaliation and are not required to seek redress from
a workers' compensation board or forced to submit to arbitration in lieu
of pursuing legal or statutory remedies.
- Have an affirmative
action program to ensure that we include women and people of color in the
recruitment, hiring and promotion of employees.
- Do not tolerate sexist,
racist, sexually-explicit or pornographic images in the workplace or at
any company-sponsored events.
- Respect the laws
that recognize the right of our employees to organize and establish an
independent voice.
- Provide all employee
benefits without discrimination based on sex. Any health benefits offered
cover the full range of reproductive health services -- including abortion.
- Do not discriminate
on the basis of marital status or sexual orientation. Benefits provided
to spouses of employees are also extended to domestic partners -- including
same-sex couples.
- Make this pledge
to our employees and our customers or clients on [Date] .
