Workplace Responsibility

Introduction
The Port of Seattle has developed a preliminary work plan for establishing a comprehensive ethics compliance program. Such a program is directly responsive to one of the eight recommendations contained in the “Special Investigative Committee Report” prepared by Mike McKay and others, dated December 3, 2008.

It also addresses CEO Tay Yoshitani’s commitment to improving the Port’s culture both in terms of how employees behave in the workplace toward each other and how they behave as community citizens and stewards of the public’s resources. In his presentation to the Port Commission on December 9, 2008, he made a commitment to develop a comprehensive workplace responsibility awareness and training program using the principles expressed in six existing policies, including: the Ethics Policy for Employees, Ethics Policy for Consultants, Fraud Awareness and Prevention, Anti-Harassment Policy, ICT Appropriate Use Policy and Whistleblower Policy.  (See Workplace Responsibility diagram.)

The Work Plan includes specific projects and a schedule, including robust and regular training and communication elements for employees.

The Interim Report on this program, the Program Planning Committee, and all accompanying documents created as part of it will reside on this Web page.
