We encourage individual empowerment & expect accountability
While we’ve outlined our expectations for behaving and showing respect for one another, we
also appreciate that each of you have your own expectations for doing so as well. So long as
they’re in line with our expectations for respect, we encourage you to be open and clear with
them. We know that how you communicate, share, joke and work with one another will differ
from team to team. These “unwritten rules” often develop organically and without any
discussion or asking how others are affected. It’s important not to assume that just because
someone hasn’t spoken up, that everything is fine.
We also believe that you should have the opportunity to respectfully challenge these unwritten
rules; and on the flipside, if you do something that offends or bothers someone, we expect that
you’ll take responsibility for your actions, and try to make amends where necessary. Just as we
as your employer have a responsibility to facilitate a respectful work environment, as an
employee of Bradley Smoker, you have the responsibility to “do your job” which at its core,
means to act professionally and respectfully.
Below is a response strategy based on respectful communication and accountability. We
encourage you to use this strategy to address behavior or communication directed at you that
you feel is in some way disrespectful.
