Preventing and addressing abusive conduct
Policy and procedures concerning harassment, discrimination, and abuse of authority
Overview
WHO is committed to providing a work environment that respects the inherent dignity of all persons. WHO has a responsibility to take all appropriate steps to prevent and respond to discrimination, abuse of authority, and harassment (collectively referred to as “abusive conduct”) in the workplace or in connection with work.
WHO has zero tolerance towards abusive conduct. All forms of abusive conduct are prohibited at WHO, regardless of the national criminal laws or other legal provisions in force where the conduct occurs. Reports of such conduct will be dealt with promptly, respectfully, and effectively in accordance with the applicable regulatory framework and the procedures set out in this policy.
