HUMAN RESOURCES – SEXUAL HARASSMENT

Based on today’s headlines for the ongoing #MeToo Movement, this movement has put sexual harassment on top of the minds of many employers and employees alike. For over twenty years BurgerBusters Inc. has kept their policy updated, investigated allegations immediately, and enforced its policies consistently. We have zero tolerance for any harassment including sexual harassment.

All of the statistical numbers for harassment are up this year and BurgerBusters is no exception. Sexual harassment complaints are about 60% higher this year; however, we have added a 20% increase in stores as well. Our workplace harassment complaints continue to escalate, up almost 70% this year. This has got to be corrected as soon as possible. We will have to provide a safe work environment if we want to continue to attract and retain quality employees.

BurgerBusters will continue to send our managers to the Mark (RGM), the Spark (Shift Manager and AGMs), and the Quest (DMs) programs. These are all programs from Taco Bell that help train and improve management techniques and successes and have been trumpeted by our own employees as valued programs.

We will endeavor to enforce our harassment and sexual harassment policy as clearly as we have over the last twenty years and will immediately investigate and dismiss employees that violate the Sexual Harassment and other Harassment Policies. These policies can be found in the Employee Policy Manual located in each store or please call the Human Resources Department if you have any questions or concerns. BurgerBusters’ Business Abuse Anonymous Tip Hotline number is 1-888-788-9757, extension 140 should be used if you ever see or suspect behavior that could harm you, your co-workers, or your company.

Examples of business abuse include, but are not limited to:
