I find that when we have policies that are consistent and backed up, the team respects them and we have a respectful working environment. It's important, too, that the policies are clear, make sense, are fair to all parties. We've had some very interesting cases where the employees think they are doing no wrong -- and they aren't if they look only at their behavior. But team members need to see that if their behavior affects not only themselves, but others, that they must be responsive. And that' s why we have certain policies which provide equity for all. Thank you for bringing up an important topic which provides equity, fairness -- and clarity -- in the workplace. Sincerely, Pamela I very much appreciate this commitment to policy.
