EOE Statement
The Little Foundation is an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity and inclusion in the workplace. We prohibit discrimination and harassment based on race, color, sex, religion, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, genetic information, pregnancy, or any other protected characteristic outlined by federal, state, or local laws.
This policy applies to all employment practices within our organization, including hiring, recruiting, promotion, termination, layoff, recall, leave of absence, compensation, benefits, training, and apprenticeship. The Little Foundation makes hiring decisions based solely on qualifications, merit, and current business needs.
To promote equal opportunity, we:

• Use inclusive language in all signs, documents, and webpages.

• Modify structures and facilities to accommodate people with disabilities.

• Provide parental leave and flexible work arrangement policies.

• Hire, train, and evaluate employees through job-related criteria.

• Allow employees to take religious or national holidays that are not included in our company's official schedule.

• Train employees on communication and diversity.

• Implement open-door practices so employees can report discrimination more easily.
Grievance Procedure
All supervisors and managers are responsible for enforcing equal opportunity practices. Everyone is expected to comply with our policy by treating others with respect. If you observe or suspect that our EEO policies are being violated, please inform HR immediately. Employees can address the offender directly. We will investigate promptly.
Disciplinary Consequences
When someone discriminates, they will be subject to disciplinary action depending on the severity of their actions. For example, unintentionally offending a coworker may warrant a reprimand, but systematically harassing someone may result in demotion or termination.
