“Sexual​ ​Harassment​ ​is​ ​defined​ ​as​ ​any​ ​harassment​ ​based​ ​on​ ​a​ ​person’s​ ​sex,​ ​such​ ​as unwelcome​ ​sexual​ ​advances,​ ​requests​ ​for​ ​sexual ​ ​favours,  ​and​ ​other​ ​verbal​ ​or​ ​physical harassment​ ​of​ ​a​ ​sexual​ ​nature,​ ​including​ ​offensive​ ​remarks​ ​about​ ​a​ ​person’s​ ​gender.​ ​Both males​ ​and​ ​females​ ​can​ ​be​ ​victims​ ​of​ ​sexual​ ​harassment”.

Individuals​ ​violating​ ​this​ ​policy​ ​will​ ​be​ ​subject​ ​to​ ​discipline,​ ​which can include​ ​termination of employment.

Retaliation Prohibition

No person covered by this Policy shall be subject to adverse action because the employee reports an incident of sexual harassment, provides information, or otherwise assists in any investigation of a sexual harassment complaint. Targetbase will not tolerate such retaliation against anyone who, in good faith, reports or provides information about suspected sexual harassment. Any employee of Targetbase who retaliates against anyone involved in a sexual harassment investigation will be subjected to disciplinary action, up to and including termination. All employees or non-employees working in the workplace who believe they have been subject to such retaliation should inform a Director of Targetbase at the earliest opportunity. All employees or non-employees who believe they have been a target of such retaliation may also seek relief in other available forums, as explained below in the section on Legal Protections.

Sexual harassment is offensive, is a violation of our policies, is unlawful, and may subject Targetbase to liability for harm to targets of sexual harassment. Harassers may also be individually subject to liability. Employees of every level who engage in sexual harassment, including managers and supervisors who engage in sexual harassment or who allow such behaviour to continue, will be penalized for such misconduct.

We will conduct a prompt and thorough investigation that ensures due process for all parties, whenever management receives a complaint about sexual harassment, or otherwise knows of possible sexual harassment occurring. At all times Targetbase will keep the investigation confidential to the extent possible. Effective corrective action will be taken whenever sexual harassment is found to have occurred. All employees, including managers and supervisors, are required to cooperate with any internal investigation of sexual harassment.

All employees are encouraged to report any harassment or behaviours that violate this policy.

Employees are required to report any complaint that they receive, or any harassment that they observe or become aware of to a Targetbase director.
