Unlawful Workplace Harassment Policy 

University Recreation follows the State of North Carolina’s policy on unlawful workplace harassment, which reads:“The policy of the State of North Carolina is that no State employee may engage in conduct that falls under the definition of 

unlawful workplace harassment indicated below. All employees are guaranteed the right to work in an environment freefrom unlawful workplace harassment and retaliation.

Definitions

Unlawful Workplace Harassment is unwelcome or unsolicited speech or conduct based upon race, sex, creed, religion,national origin, age, genetic information, color or handicapping condition as defined by G. S. 168A0-3 that creates a hostilework environment of circumstances involving quid pro quo.

Hostile Work Environment is one that both a reasonable person would find hostile or abusive and that the particular personwho is the object of the harassment perceives to be hostile or abusive. Hostile work environment is determined by looking

at all of the circumstances, including the frequency of the allegedly harassing conduct, its severity, whether it is physicallythreatening or humiliating, and whether it unreasonably interferes with an employee’s work performance.

Quid Pro Quo harassment consists of unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or other verbal or physicalconduct when (1) submission to conduct made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual’semployment, or (2) submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the basis for employmentdecisions affecting such individual.

Retaliation is adverse treatment which occurs because of opposition to unlawful workplace harassment.”

An amorous relationship or familialrelationship between two employees, in which one employee may make an employment-related decision that directly affectsthe other, can impair or undermine the ongoing trust needed for effective departmental operation and individual professionaldevelopment. Both the fact and semblance of any exploitation must be avoided because these relationships raise concernsabout consent and fair treatment of employees. Therefore, it is misconduct, subject to disciplinary action, for a Universityemployee, either individually or as a member of a group or committee, to participate in or make any employment-relateddecision that will directly affect an employee with whom he or she has an amorous relationship or familial relationship.

Member Perceptions

Student employees interact with members in a multitude of ways. No matter the situation, you are highly visible andsomeone is always evaluating you whether it is your peers, supervisors or members. Be mindful of your behaviors, verbaand body language, and the way you carry yourself. Be aware that your actions affect the quality of customer serviceProfessionalism and focus on service is your goal. First impressions are often lasting impressions.

Member Interaction

Everyone wants to be treated with respect, and it is your job to do just that -- treat everyone with respect. Our job is toserve the university community.

Members use our facilities and programs to forget the hassles of their daily life, become active and social at NC State, andto meet fitness and wellness goals. There are two things that will infuriate our members faster than anything else and bothconcern inconsistencies. The first is observing or being the victim of preferential treatment. The second inconsistency isbeing told conflicting interpretations of our rules by different employees. Treat everyone the same. The same rules apply toeveryone.

EXAMPLE: When an individual comes to a recreation facility and they have forgotten their NC State ID card, and they telthe Facility Assistant, "It's okay to let me in, Jim knows me. All the other guys let me in." If the worker bows to this pressurethey have created an inconsistency within our processes. If another member sees this and comes into the office tocomplain, they have every right to. The same rules must be applied to everyone equally.

Most people will respect our rules and regulations if they know they can depend on them being enforced the same wayevery time. Treat our members with the respect they deserve. Be tactful. You may be surprised to find that you'll earn theirespect for a job well done!

You can learn a lot while working in the recreation facilities. You will have the opportunity to share your knowledge ocampus information, sporting events, and numerous other questions. Providing information to members is an importanaspect of your job, but be careful. Never be embarrassed to say "I'm sorry, but I really don't know the answer to youquestion. Let me try to find someone who does." That has a much more positive effect on a person than an answer thawas a "guess" and turns out wrong. Members will appreciate your honesty.

Policy Enforcement

Policy enforcement may be one of the most difficult aspects of your job. It is also one of the most important. Consistenenforcement of the rules will foster respect for them. Inconsistent enforcement will create contempt, anger, and frustration

Page 20: University Recreation - Student Employee Handbook(2)

7/27/2019 University Recreation - Student Employee Handbook(2)

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/university-recreation-student-employee-handbook2 20/29

for our members. Every policy is based on solid reasoning, and if you do not understand specific policies, please clarify withyour supervisor so that you can provide the best explanation to members.

Enforcing a rule takes courage. It is not easy to tell somebody “NO.” Sometimes it is convenient to look the other way whena member is doing something he/she shouldn't. The expectation is that student employees will take charge of a situationand enforce all policies consistently. This will prevent an infraction before it happens. By looking the other way, we createan inconsistency that poses a difficult situation for everyone. Never argue or shout. Be firm and consistent or you will lose

face and respect. Do not get either emotionally or physically involved.

 Always be polite and courteous, but firm and not afraid to render the discipline that is necessary. Never touch a member,either in anger or affection. If you have a situation you cannot handle, remember you have the support of the studentleaders and professional staff to assist in the situation.

Dealing with Rude or Hostile Members

There are times that you may face a belligerent, aggressive member, remember that they are probably angry and confused Always begin a potentially hostile argument with introducing yourself and asking for the participant’s name. This will help uslater on to identify the person if we need to either fill out an incident report, ban the individual from the complex, or if

University Police becomes involved. Treat them politely and try to diffuse their anger. Simply enforce the rules firmlyMaintain your composure, sit or stand up straight, maintain eye contact, and be confident. Hopefully your attitude will swaythe conversation to a positive outcome.

If a member’s behavior escalates to the point of becoming personally attacking or abusive, we can then draw the line andask him/her to leave for the day. Any time a member becomes abusive, either verbally or physically, notify your supervisoimmediately for assistance. Always remain calm, andnever retaliate in any manner. When you retaliate and argue with themember, you are making it very difficult for your supervisor to support you. If the member is irate and out of control, youshould ask the member to leave the facility. If the member refuses to cooperate, tell the member that you will be forced tocall University Police if he/she does not calm down and cooperate.

When enforcing any facility policy, never give a warning or provoke members by stating, “if you one more time, youwill be thrown out.” Handling warning situations in this manner antagonizes the individual and offers him/her a challenge to seeif you really will "throw them out." At this point, doing anything less than “throwing him out” for a repeated offense, will cause youto lose control of the situation and seriously damage your credibility in the eyes of other building users. By stating, “doingthis is against University Recreation policy and, if you choose to again, I must ask you to leave,” you accomplish twoimportant things.

First, this removes the “you versus them” situation. It is not you asking them to leave; it is University Recreation. Second, thisexplains that they have a choice, and they alone must take responsibility for the outcome of their choice. No matter whahappens, avoid raising your voice in anger. Again, this does nothing but make the situation worse. Speaking in a calmerrelaxed tone could actually cause the individual you are speaking with to lower his/her voice and dissipate the situation.

Interacting with People with Disabilities

More than likely, you will have the opportunity to interact with members who have disabilities. Remember, these membersare more "like" you than they are "unlike" you. If you have a tendency to feel sympathetic toward individuals withdisabilities, just stop and think about how you would want to be treated if you were in their shoes. The desire to recreate inour facilities should be encouraged. Your friendly "hello" as they enter our facility is a reminder to individuals with disabilitiesthat they are accepted, regardless of their impairment. Further points to keep in mind when meeting an individual who hasa disability:

Page 21: University Recreation - Student Employee Handbook(2)

•  Offer assistance as you would to anyone else, for example, to push a wheelchair or to guide a visually impairedindividual. The person will indicate whether or not the help is needed, and a "no, thank you" must be respected.Most people with disabilities will not hesitate to ask for needed help and will be specific as to how it should be givenfor example, the blind person usually prefers to take your arm rather than to have you grab his or hers.

•  Noticing an obvious disability is not rude; however, asking personal questions about it is inappropriate.

•   Always talk directly to a people with disabilities rather than to the person who may be accompanying him or her.

•  Never talk about people with disabilities or to the person he or she is with as if the person does not exist. Thisincludes an interpreter for a hearing impaired person.

•  Do not be concerned if you use the words walking or running when talking to a person in a wheelchair, or "do yousee?" when talking to a blind person. People with disabilities use these words themselves and think nothing of it.

•  Do not avoid using words like blind or deaf when associating with people with these disabilities. People withdisabilities know that they have them and do not need to be shielded from the facts.

•  When talking with a person in a wheelchair for any length of time, it is better to sit down in order to be at the sameeye level. It is very tiring for a person to look up for a long time.

•  Remember that if a person does not turn around in response to a call, it may be that he or she has a hearingdisability or is deaf. A light tap on the shoulder to get a person's attention makes sense.

Interacting with International Members

NC State is a very diverse university with students hailing from 119 foreign countries. You yourself may be an internationalstudent and can attest to the sometimes intimidating and unfamiliar environment in which you are furthering your educationIt is our goal at University Recreation to make all members feel welcomed, important, and that we spend enough time toanswer questions, concerns, and issues; especially with our international community. It is common that you wilcommunicate with individuals who have language barriers or cultural differences. Your interactions with our internationamembers can set the tone for their entire experience at NC State and it is important that we approach situations withtolerance, understanding, and care.

•  Keep your tone friendly and positive. Smiling is universal. You can hear a smile in any language, especially over thephone.

•  Do not pretend to understand. Unless you fully understand their question or comment, do not nod or say “okay.”These are indications that you do understand and can create further confusion. It is perfectly fine to gently say, “apologize, I am having a little difficulty understanding you. If you can slow down, just a little bit, I will be able tobetter serve you.” The most important thing for our members is for them to know that you want to help them.

•  Don’t rush. Rushing can threaten members. If you are constantly cutting customers off while they are speaking, it isnot helping them to let you know their concerns.

•  If a member does not understand you due to a language barrier, do not raise your voice or shout. People whospeak with accents or have a language barrier are not hard of hearing.

•  Do not be rude. You may not think you are being rude, but there is a difference between saying, “Hey, I can’understand you,” or just saying “huh?” and explaining your difficulty in understanding them.

  Be mindful of large, suggestive, or aggressive hand gestures. What may be deemed appropriate in your own culturemay be rude, offensive, or threatening in other cultures. For instance, when giving directions, do not point with asingle finger, instead, use an open hand gesture.

•   Asking another staff member for help is certainly okay if you are having a challenging time, however, avoid shufflingour members from one staff to another. This can be extremely frustrating for the member to continue to start over.
