We're in the service business and our continued success depends heavily upon our ability to attract and retain the best people available, regardless of their race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, military status, or other protected characteristics as established by federal, state, or local law. Apart from the ethical and legal considerations of Equal Employment Opportunity, it is sound business practice.
We will continue to direct our employment and personnel practices towards ensuring equal opportunity for everyone.
It is our mandate that all matters related to the terms and conditions of employment (e.g.: recruiting, hiring, training, education, compensation, benefits, promotions, etc.) and all treatment on the job be free of discrimination.
In addition to our Equal Employment Opportunity policy, we maintain an Affirmative Action Program in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
Our policies detail our commitment to equal employment opportunities. Rick Edson, Surgery Company operations, Livermore, California; Kathy Doody, Expert Company and all other subsidiary operations; and Marjorie Conner, Assistant Secretary and Counsel, have the overall responsibility for implementing our existing programs. We will monitor and revise these programs as necessary, and continue to establish new programs to maximize the utilization of the Company's most important asset - our people.
