organization must be open to new ideas. Ask for opinions and feedback from both

abilities without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, sex, age, pregnancy,

military status, disability, or any other classification protected by federal, state, and local

laws. This policy applies to all aspects of employment, including recruitment, hiring, job

assignment, compensation, wages, promotion, disciplinary actions, termination, training,

Any employees with questions or concerns about any type of discrimination in the

workplace are encouraged to bring these issues to the attention of their immediate

supervisor. Employees can raise concerns and make reports without fear of reprisal.

Anyone found to be engaging in any type of unlawful discrimination will be subject to

disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.

New Employee Orientation

comfortable, informed about the company, and prepared for their position. New employee

orientation is conducted by a Human Resources representative, and includes an overview

and company goals and objectives. In addition, the new employee will be given an

overview of benefits, safety rules, and legal issues, and complete any necessary

paperwork.

the workplace. The new employee’s supervisor will then introduce the new employee to

the staff at Dream Events, review their job description and scope of position, explain the

company’s evaluation procedures, and help the new employee get started on specific

functions.
