Harassment and Workplace Violence
Trinity Health does not tolerate behaviors that undermine a culture of safety. Colleagues can
expect to work in an environment free of harassment and disruptive behavior. Behavior that
is not tolerated, includes but is not limited to the following:
• unwelcomed comments, remarks, gestures, or physical contact.
• offensive, degrading or humiliating jokes, slurs, or comments (explicit or suggestive).
• the display or circulation (including email or the internet) of offensive, derogatory or sexually
explicit pictures or other materials.
• verbal or physical abuse or threats.
Workplace violence is any act or threat of physical violence, intimidation, or other disruptive
behavior that impacts work related activities. It may be intentional or unintentional. It may
affect and involve colleagues, patients, residents, physicians, contractors, suppliers, and visitors.
Colleagues who see or experience harassment or workplace violence should immediately report
the incident. See Resources to Assist You on Page 21.
Workplace Safety
Trinity Health is committed to a safe work environment. Each Trinity Health organization has
developed policies to protect workplace health and safety. These policies comply with applicable
government regulations. You should be familiar with and understand how these policies apply to
your specic job duties. Seek advice if you have a question or concern. See Resources to Assist
You on Page 21.
Inclusion and Belonging
Demographics in our nation are rapidly changing. With the growing evidence that a diverse
workforce improves healthcare outcomes and helps to reduce health disparities, there is an
urgent need to address persistent barriers such as systemic racism, biases, and stereotypes.
Built on the foundation of Trinity Health's Mission and Core Values, we seek to integrate
diversity, equity, and inclusion in all that we do. We all have different lived experiences,
customs, abilities, and talents. Together, we can become our best selves by embracing all
dimensions of diversity and providing accessible, inclusive, and equitable care for those we
serve. Trinity Health is committed to providing an inclusive work environment where everyone
is treated with fairness, dignity and respect. Trinity Health is an equal opportunity employer
and prohibits discrimination against any individual with regard to race, color, religion, sex,
sexual orientation, and gender identity, pregnancy (including childbirth, lactation and related
medical conditions), national origin, ancestry, age, physical or mental disability, genetic
information (including testing and characteristics), veteran status, uniformed service member
status, or any other status protected by applicable local, state and federal laws and regulations.
Consistent with applicable law, Trinity Health will provide a reasonable accommodation for the
known physical or mental limitations of an otherwise qualied individual with a disability who

of the individual or others would result. Consistent with applicable law, Trinity Health will also
