Employee Expectations

Whitworth employees are expected to adhere to acceptable business principles in matters of personal and business conduct, to accept responsibility for the appropriateness of their own conduct, and to exhibit a high degree of personal integrity at all times. 

It is impossible to list all forms of conduct that might be considered inappropriate. Certain behavior (such as theft, lying, fighting, using physical force, falsification of records, bribery and threats of violence) is clearly unacceptable at any time in any workplace. Other conduct (such as failure to cooperate with other employees or one’s supervisor, harassing or intimidating others, and rudeness to co-workers and/or students), while often more subtle, is equally unacceptable. 

The university expects all employees to adhere to the following general principles: 

• Observe high standards of professionalism at all times.
• Perform responsibilities in a manner consistent with our Christian values and ethical standards. 
• Comply with all laws applicable to the institution. 
• Treat others, including students, employees and visitors, with courtesy, dignity and respect. 

Unsatisfactory performance, work habits, overall attitude, conduct or demeanor; violation of university policies, procedures or guidelines; or any other behavior or conduct deemed inappropriate or unacceptable by the university may result in corrective action, up to and including termination.
