Embracing Inclusion and Preventing Harassment and Discrimination
Our Commitment
We create work environments free from harassment or discrimination and treat everyone with respect, dignity and honesty. A hostile work environment does not support superior work, is contrary to Hexcel’s Values, and in most cases violates the law.
As One Hexcel, we thrive on the different skills and viewpoints each of us brings to the workplace. We respect the various backgrounds, capabilities and opinions of our people. Inclusivity expands our skill sets and broadens our perspectives. Through it, we build a workplace that reflects the communities where we do business.
How We Act with Integrity
- Treat everyone we encounter in our workplace fairly and with respect.
- Support inclusion at every level of the Company and every stage of hiring and development.
- Foster a work environment that encourages learning and collaboration.
- Take responsibility for making sure everyone counts and every voice is heard.
- Tolerate any form of harassment, bias, unfair treatment or offensive or disrespectful language or conduct.
- Allow the use of discriminatory language or any other remarks, jokes, social media or internal postings, or conduct that may create or foster an offensive or hostile work environment.
- Discourage employees from openly sharing in the workplace what personal attributes make them different.
- Exclude employees with different backgrounds and work experiences from sharing new perspectives or solutions.
Integrity in Action
A co-worker often jokes about my appearance and makes up embarrassing nicknames for me. Their comments have nothing to do with my sex, and the person does this to both men and women in the department. Is this against Company policy?
Yes. Behavior does not have to be sexual in nature to be intimidating, offensive or bullying. Hexcel does not tolerate this type of behavior in the workplace, even if the behavior does not constitute illegal sexual harassment or racial or other discrimination. You should report your concern through one of our available reporting channels.
Integrity in Action
My manager frequently loses his temper and raises his voice when our team makes a mistake or misses a deadline. Is that harassment?
All Hexcel employees are entitled to a work environment that is free from intimidating, offensive or hostile conduct. While not all critical remarks constitute harassment, we are committed to maintaining a safe and respectful workplace. If you believe the behavior is creating an uncomfortable environment, please share your concerns through one of our available reporting channels.
