We respect each other

Our shared responsibility

We treat each other with dignity and respect. Siemens Energy does not allow discrimination, harassment, sexual harassment, bullying, or other harmful behavior prohibited in our policies. We support equal opportunity and an inclusive workplace. Everyone should feel safe, valued, and respected. This applies in person, in writing, and online.

  • Do not discriminate, harass, bully, or exclude others.
  • Avoid offensive jokes, comments, gestures, images, or online messages.
  • Speak up if you see or experience inappropriate behavior.
  • Act quickly and address concerns if you’re a manager.

Reasonable accommodation

We provide workplace so employees can perform their jobs. This may include:

  • Changes for disabilities
  • Flexible work arrangements
  • Religious adjustments
