Respect in the Workplace

We aim to create a workspace where everyone feels safe, valued, and respected. That’s why, at FIS, we do not tolerate harassment, bullying, or abuse.

To safeguard our colleagues, we respond quickly and consistently to mistreatment and work to always provide a pleasant and productive atmosphere. We Win as One Team.

Respect your coworkers.

We strive to always:

  • Abide by a standard of mutual respect, no matter our differences.
  • Use care in our interactions and treat everyone with dignity.
  • Avoid harassment in all its forms. Harassment:
    • - Can be verbal, visual, physical, or sexual.
    • - Can be aimed at someone the same or a different sex or gender.
    • - May occur either directly or indirectly, or either in person or online.
    • - Could involve coworkers or anyone who works with us or on our behalf.
    • - Could happen on Company property or at work-related functions.

Harassment is conducted that's so intimidating, hostile, or offensive that it could either:

  • - Interfere with how someone does their job, or
  • - Create a hostile work environment

What are some potential actions of a harasser?

  • - Inappropriate communications (such as insults, ridicule, slurs, etc.)
  • - Yelling or emotional outbursts
  • - Profanity
  • - Throwing objects
  • - Slamming doors
  • - Physical or any form of intimidation or aggression
  • - Inappropriate gestures
  • - Threats made against others

Set boundaries.

Communicating what is acceptable, and what isn’t, can help us maintain a positive workplace. If you are ever in a situation where you see, suspect, or experience mistreatment, don’t ignore it. Ask the person to stop.

Keep in mind that speaking directly to the offender can be a powerful first step. However, you may also use our TPO Support Center or the FIS Ethics Helpline for support.

Our Core Values In Action

Q: One of my colleagues repeatedly compliments my appearance. I know there is no harm meant, but I don’t feel comfortable. Am I just being too sensitive?

A: No, you’re not. Try speaking to your colleague and explain that these compliments make you feel uncomfortable, and you want them to stop. If the situation continues or if you’re uncomfortable addressing the concern directly, report the problem.
