6. EEO Policy
Deborah and Dominic are the top candidates for an assistant nurse manager position Deborah is the stronger candidate, but it’s obvious to the hiring manager that she’s pregnant. It would be really inconvenient for the unit if they hired Deborah and she went out on maternity leave a few months later, so the hiring manager decides to hire Dominic instead.

7. Workplace Harassment & Violence Policy
TUHS – A Respectful Workplace:
Provide a safe and secure environment free from workplace harassment/discrimination
Harassment and threats of violence are serious forms of misconduct that undermine our core values
Providing excellent health care REQUIRES team work
The policy applies to all business relationships
whether between a supervisor/employee, worker/co-worker, staff/patient, employee/business invitee or other professional relationship.

10. Q & A
Two coworkers are having a disagreement in front of a patient, and one says, “Let’s take this outside” so they can continue the discussion in private.
An employee asks a colleague in another department out on a date, he declines, and she doesn’t ask him again.
An employee loudly complains to anyone who will listen about the smell of the “ethnic” food a coworker brings from home every day.
An employee has an Eagles cheerleaders calendar (the one where they’re all in bikinis) prominently displayed in his workstation.
An employee has some recurring problems with her supervisor, so she fills out a Workplace Complaint Form. When the supervisor finds out, she tells the employee she’s going to cut her hours and only schedule her for night shifts.
