Equal Opportunity Employment Policy Statement:- |
| |
It is the policy of NII to provide equal opportunity for all
employees and applicants without regard to sex, race, color, ancestry, religious creed,
national origin, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, age, marital
status, political affiliation, sexual orientation, disabled veteran or Vietnam era veteran
status. Employment and advancement decisions will be based on an individual's skills,
knowledge, abilities, and other legitimate qualifications.
By definition, a disabled veteran is anyone who is entitled to disability compensation as
defined by the Veterans Administration. A veteran of the Vietnam era is anyone who served
more than 180 days of active duty between August 5, 1964 and May 7, 1975.
Affirmative action requirements of the federal government are designed to enhance
employment opportunities for females and ethnic minorities (Black, Hispanic, Asian,
and Native American), people with disabilities and disabled veterans and veterans of
the Vietnam era. Affirmative action programs provide for a fuller utilization and
development of all human resources.
Affirmative action and equal employment opportunity affects all employment practices at
NII including recruiting, hiring, promotion, compensation, benefits and termination of employment.
As the President, I have appointed Raavi Gayathri to develop, administer, and monitor
affirmative action and other equal employment opportunity programs. Any complaints of
discrimination reported to her will be investigated rapidly and if possible in strict
confidence.
Harassment of any kind, including sexual harassment is considered a serious behavior
problem and will not be tolerated at NII. Complaints of harassment will be thoroughly
investigated. Employees who are found behaving in such a way will be disciplined, up to
possible dismissal from employment. If you have a complaint of harassment you may bring
it directly to my attention or to the attention of Raavi Gayathri, the Director, HR.
Retaliation for filing a complaint of discrimination, of any kind, is not permitted and
will not be tolerated.
Kishore Kethineni, President & CEO
