Employees of Central Missouri are representatives of the university during working hours and are expected to conduct themselves in a professional and ethical manner. They are expected to work together to protect the interests and safety of each other and others on campus. Employees are responsible for their own personal conduct and for taking the necessary steps to ensure, to the extent possible, a safe and harmonious work environment.
All employees are expected to demonstrate a commitment to customer service, recognizing that everyone serves both internal and external customers, including students, faculty, staff, and our community.
Supervisors are expected to address any employee conduct problems that occur within their own area of responsibility. While the Office of Human Resources provides assistance or guidance in this area, the supervisor is responsible to ensure that employees exhibit proper conduct.
Because it is not possible to list all the forms of behavior that are considered unacceptable in the workplace, employees are trusted to use their best judgment. However, the following are examples of infractions of rules of conduct that may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment.
