+# Blendle's Employee Handbook
+
+This is a living document with everything we've learned working with people while running a startup. And, of course, we continue to learn. Therefore it's a document that will continue to change. 
+
+**Everything related to working at Blendle and the people of Blendle, made public.**
+
+These are the lessons from three years of working with the people of Blendle. It contains everything from [how our leaders lead](https://www.notion.so/ecfb7e647136468a9a0a32f1771a8f52) to [how we increase salaries](Blendle's%20Employee%20Handbook%20a834d55573614857a48a9ce9ec4194e3/Salary%20Review%20fd385c04dff04c2bb298f7085bf9e78d.md), from [how we hire](Blendle's%20Employee%20Handbook%20a834d55573614857a48a9ce9ec4194e3/Hiring%20fd6a5e1f88dd4476988147a3a62e1f0d.md) and [fire](Blendle's%20Employee%20Handbook%20a834d55573614857a48a9ce9ec4194e3/Firing%20b870eff4bf1d42ae9f7e119b6660f4fc.md) to [how we think people should give each other feedback](Blendle's%20Employee%20Handbook%20a834d55573614857a48a9ce9ec4194e3/Our%20Feedback%20Process%20c40fc80d546045ffb7076797301e81a8.md) — and much more.
+
+We've made this document public because we want to learn from you. We're very much interested in your feedback (including weeding out typo's and Dunglish ;)). Email us at [email protected]. If you're starting your own company or if you're curious as to how we do things at Blendle, we hope that our employee handbook inspires you.

+# Blendle Social Code
+
+**We want you to feel safe, happy, free and able to express yourself authentically at Blendle. We won’t tolerate any form of bad behaviour, racism or (sexual) harassment. If any of this is happening (or you have the slightest feeling of discomfort), please speak up. We’ll support you. If you don’t feel comfortable talking to any of us, you can talk to our [confidential counsellor](https://www.notion.so/ceb925ba799f4dcab14bee5af3ffc0b8) (not a public link) at any time.**
+
+This part of our handbook describes our social code in more detail. This social code describes what is acceptable and unacceptable behaviour when working at Blendle and the steps we will take to restore the values when someone violates them.
+
+We were inspired after reading [this example from Workable](https://resources.workable.com/employee-code-of-conduct-company-policy) and used that as a starting point for this document.
+
+**Why do we need this social code?**
+
+By setting out our code our goal is to make sure it is crystal clear what is OK and what’s not. It is a starting point for healthy discussions, and we hope to support any feeling of mistreatment with it.
+
+**Our social code**
+
+We expect you to foster a well-organised, respectful and collaborative environment. You should avoid offending, participating in heated altercations and disrupting our workplace. We will not tolerate anyone intimidating, pestering, humiliating, victimizing or sabotaging others at Blendle. We also prohibit wilful discrimination based on age, sexual orientation, gender, ethnicity, race, religion or disability. This is by no means an exhaustive list but it gives an indication, use your common sense. You should also conform to [our inclusion and diversity policy](Diversity%20and%20Inclusion%20b8d3907631944696a4e76c2a41e757a5.md) in all aspects of your work, from recruitment and performance reviews to interpersonal relations. In general: ‘Do unto others as you would have them do unto you’.
+
+This code applies to all employees, contractors, public visitors, customers and anyone else at Blendle with whom you come into contact.

+# Addressing harassment
+
+You are *always* in charge of the process and can decide how to move forward when you report an incident. We encourage you to talk about what happened.
+
+If you are being sexually harassed (or suspect another person is being harassed), please report it to HR, your lead or [our outside confidential counsellor](https://www.notion.so/ceb925ba799f4dcab14bee5af3ffc0b8). In serious cases like sexual assault, please call the police and inform HR that you plan to press charges. We acknowledge it’s often hard to come forward about these issues, and we strive to have as many channels of communication open so that whoever you're comfortable talking to, we're here for you. 
+
+Here are the steps you can take, either:
+
+- **Talk to the offender**. If you suspect that an offender doesn’t realise they are guilty of harassment, you could talk to them directly in an effort to resolve the issue. This tactic is appropriate for cases of minor harassment (e.g. inappropriate jokes between colleagues, something you read on #overheard).
+- **Talk to your team lead**. Your team lead will assess your situation and may contact HR if appropriate. Explain the situation in as much detail as possible. If you have any hard evidence (e.g. emails), forward it or bring it with you to the meeting.
+- **Talk to HR**. Feel free to reach out to HR in any case of harassment no matter how minor it may seem. For your safety, contact HR as soon as possible in cases of serious harassment (e.g. sexual advances) or if your team lead is involved in your claim. Anything you disclose will remain confidential.
+- **Talk to a confidential counsellor**. If for any reason you don't want to talk to HR or your team lead directly, you can choose to talk to our outside counsellor. We appointed one in November 2018. The outside counsellor can listen to you and advise you on possible next steps. Again, you will always be in the lead on next steps. The content of your conversation will always stay confidential and will not reach Blendle or the offender. You can contact our counsellor directly by [email or phone (not a public link)](https://www.notion.so/ceb925ba799f4dcab14bee5af3ffc0b8).
+
+If you report assault to the police, Blendle will provide any possible support until the matter is resolved. In any case, we will ensure you are not victimised and that you have access to relevant evidence.
+
+## **What's not acceptable at Blendle**
+
+Harassment includes bullying, intimidation, direct insults, malicious gossip and victimisation. It’s impossible to create an exhaustive list, but here are some instances that we consider harassment:
+
+- Sabotaging someone’s work on purpose
+- Engaging in frequent or unwanted advances of any nature
+- Commenting derogatorily on a person’s ethnic heritage or religious beliefs
+- Starting or spreading rumors about a person’s personal life
+- Ridiculing someone in front of others or singling them out to perform tasks unrelated to their job (e.g. bringing coffee) against their will

+# General disciplinary measures
+
+Our Social code is crystal clear and very easily to follow. However, we also want to be clear about the consequences if for any reason you fail to follow the rules:
+
+- **Verbal warning.** When we find it necessary to formally give you a warning. It might be a minor violation or your first time.
+- **Official written warning**.  You will receive an official written warning for any serious breach of Blendle’s social code. This also applies when you already have had a maximum of two verbal warnings and your behavior hasn't improved. After 1 official written warning, we will move on to more serious measures like suspension or termination.
+- **Suspension.** This happens when you have committed a very serious offense, or when we need time to investigate a case. Your access to Blendle will be temporarily revoked until it's clear whether and which measures should be taken.
+- **Termination.** When the violation is of a very serious nature. These violations are most of the time determined by law and because of the severity of the act, we can terminate your contract immediately. Or, after an official written warning.
+
+## When do we apply these measures
+
+When we apply a measure, which measure we apply, and how long we apply it always depends on the situation and severity of the violation.
+
+- Any form of harassment including bullying, intimidation, malicious gossip and victimisation of your colleagues, either inside or outside of the office.
+- Any form of [sexual harassment](Sexual%20harassment%2069bffcbdaa6e4440b66be1239446c854.md), inside or outside of the office.
+- Any use of drugs and alcohol during work.
+- Use of drugs during Blendle outings and events, inside or outside of office barriers.
+- If you show any unacceptable behaviour towards our guests.
+- Stealing and fraud.
