The Respectful SLAC Workplace

The Stanford Linear Accelerator Center is committed to providing a work environment that promotes learning, research, and productivity through working relationships based on courtesy, civility and respectful communication. This commitment calls for a workplace where the following beliefs are upheld:

1. Everyone at SLAC without exception has an important contribution to make toward the overall success of the laboratory’s mission.

2. This mission is best carried out in an atmosphere where all employees at all levels value each other and treat each other with respect. This is true even in situations of high pressure and urgency.

3. Managers, supervisors and others in positions of authority should consider themselves as role models in the promotion of such an atmosphere, without in any way abdicating their responsibility to direct their employees to perform work effectively.

4. In the same spirit, employees at all levels should be able to discuss issues of concern without fear that those discussions will result in any retaliation from somebody above or below them in the laboratory’s hierarchy.

5. In response to staff input, the Laboratory will make reasonable changes to improve the work environment and productivity at SLAC.
