Non-retaliation

It is your obligation to report concerns and any behavior you think violates these Standards of Conduct, any Gundersen policies, laws or regulations. Do this in good faith as soon as you have a concern. No retaliatory action will be taken or will be permitted by Gundersen against any individual or entity that reports in good faith any suspected violations of the Standards of Conduct. Please refer to our Non-retaliation Policy, GL-3032, in the link provided above. If you believe you have experienced retaliation for reporting a concern in good faith, contact the Compliance Office.
