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.

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.
