Reporting Harassment

If you experience or witness harassment:

Speak Up: If you feel comfortable, address the behavior directly with the individual involved. Sometimes, making them aware of their actions is enough to resolve the situation.
Report the Incident: Contact CapiPetCare management at [insert contact email or phone number] to report the behavior. Reports can be made confidentially.
Document the Incident: Include details such as date, time, location, parties involved, and a description of the behavior.

Investigation Process

Appropriate action will be taken based on the findings, which may include disciplinary measures, up to and including termination of employment or refusal of services.

No Retaliation

CapiPetCare strictly prohibits retaliation against anyone who reports harassment or participates in an investigation. Retaliation is considered a serious violation of this policy and will be addressed accordingly.

Commitment to Education

We will continue to educate our staff and partners about recognizing and preventing harassment, fostering a culture of respect and inclusion at all levels.
