CULTURE OF CARE PLEDGE
Woods Construction & Interiors fully committed to fostering a culture of care at every level and in all aspects of our organization.
Our employees are our most valuable asset. Every one of our employees has the right to work in an environment that is safe, welcoming, and inclusive. A Culture of CARE allows every employee the opportunity to reach their full potential, be their most productive and do their best without the fear of harassment, hazing or bullying.
We expect all employees to commit to and comply with culture of care values.
Safety is our number one priority. Safety goes beyond protection from physical hazards. We know that workers who have not been integrated into their workplace culture are more likely to have accidents due to the increased psychological and emotional stress from being excluded. Unwelcome, offensive, discriminatory, or harassing language or behavior directly affect the psychological and emotional wellbeing of our employees, putting their health and safety at risk.
The collective sum of our employees’ individual differences, traits, skills, backgrounds, and experiences is our strength. By embracing a Culture of CARE, we will retain top talent, improve employee productivity, and job satisfaction, increase our ability to innovate, reach new customer bases, and create a safer workplace.
We ensure a Culture of CARE by committing to the following principles:
Harassment, Hazing or Bullying will not be tolerated.
These behaviors can include language (written or verbal), actions, or gestures. Types of behaviors that will not be tolerated include:
Our commitment to you.
Just as you have the right to refuse to work in physically unsafe conditions, you also have the right to refuse to work if you are experiencing emotionally or psychologically unsafe conditions in the form of harassment, hazing or bullying.

Care values outlined in this policy.
Any employee found to have exhibited any inappropriate conduct or behavior against others may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination.
