Windstream will not tolerate discrimination in employment on the basis of race, color, age, sex, sexual orientation, religion, disability, national origin, veteran status or any status protected by applicable law.

Windstream unequivocally prohibits all forms of harassment in the workplace. This prohibition applies to all employees, as well as to employees and representatives of Windstream’s customers and vendors. Harassment includes behavior - whether in person or by other means, such as e-mail - that is offensive and interferes with an employee’s work performance or creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work environment. Harassment may take many forms, including unwanted physical contact, sexual advances, threatening behavior, and demeaning comments, jokes or gestures.

If you believe that you have been discriminated against or harassed, you should report that discrimination or harassment to your supervisor, his or her supervisor, your human resources department representative, the Director of Employee Relations, or the Working with Integrity helpline.
