Mesa Employee Handbook

This commitment to equal employment opportunity also includes our continuing commitment to create a working environment free from all forms of harassment including sexual harassment. Any harassment, including sexual harassment, whether committed by management, non-management personnel, or visitors is strictly prohibited. An individual who feels that he or she has been a victim of any form of harassment, including sexual harassment, should immediately notify his or her supervisor or any other member of management. The company will promptly investigate the claim and take appropriate corrective action, which may include discipline up to, and including, discharge of the offending party. Every employee is expected to respect the rights of others and to conform to this policy. We have an excellent work environment and we intend to keep it that way. The Company Policy Against Harassment is posted on bulletin boards in all locations. The company fosters an environment of diversity that is inclusive, respectful, and fair. This environment is a vital part of our business processes and allows people of different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives to come together to reach common business and professional goals. Diversity broadens our perspective as a company and enriches our employees and partners as well as the communities in which we live. In keeping with the company’s support of equal opportunity and diversity, Flowers Foods has made it a corporate initiative to recruit veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces for employment opportunities.
