  SmithCo, Inc.

  Associate Manual

  Commitment to Equal Employment Opportunity

  Equal Employment Opportunity

  Equal Opportunity is the expressed policy of SmithCo. Our policy is to select the best-qualified person for each position in the organization and to conduct all business relationships without prejudice. SmithCo is committed to the principles of

  equal employment opportunity for all employees and applicants for employment. Advancement opportunities and employment decisions will be made without regard to race, creed, color, religion, sex, national origin, ancestry, age, physical or

  mental handicap, veteran or military status, or any other characteristic protected under federal, state, or local law.

  Managers are expected to seek out a diverse pool of candidates for consideration when making hiring decisions. SmithCo also develops an annual Affirmative Action program, which is a federal requirement due to our status as a government

  contractor. The leadership team plays an active role in demonstrating SmithCo's commitment by providing equal employment opportunities at all levels of employment. Managers and employees are advised to meet with the HR manager for

  assistance in meeting the standards set in this policy.

  Equal Employment Opportunity Applies Throughout The Employment Process

  To advance the principles of equal employment opportunity, SmithCo also extends this policy to every phase of the employment process including, but not limited to, recruitment, selection, placement, transfer, training and development,

  promotion, compensation, benefits, layoffs, termination, and all other conditions or benefits of employment. All employees are expected to abide by and promote this policy of equal employment opportunity within the organization, as well as

  with those who have a business relationship with SmithCo.

  Equal Employment Opportunity Requires the Participation of All Associates

  While overall authority for implementing an Equal Employment Opportunity policy is assigned to the Vice President of Human Resources, an effective equal employment opportunity program cannot be achieved without the support of all

  associates. Any associate who feels they have been denied equal opportunity or subjected to discrimination should consult with their manager or HR representative. SmithCo's Employee Assistance Program also provides assistance with

  these matters.

  A. to lessen the chance of lawsuits against SmithCo for discrimination
  B. to prevent sexual harassment

  Reading Material

  (1)

  A research team from the University of Bonn has succeeded for the first time in using light stimuli to stop life-threatening cardiac arrhythmia in mouse hearts. (2) Furthermore, as shown in computer simulations at Johns Hopkins University, this technique could also be used successfully for human hearts. (3) The study opens up a whole new approach to the development of implantable optical defibrillators, in which the strong electrical impulses of conventional defibrillators are replaced by gentler, pain-free light impulses. (4) The Journal of Clinical Investigation has now published the results. (5) Ventricular fibrillation! (6) When the heart muscle races and no longer contracts in an orderly fashion, sudden death often follows due to the lack of blood circulation. (7) In such an emergency, a defibrillator helps to restore normal heart activity by means of intense electrical shocks. (8) In patients with a known risk for these arrhythmia, the prophylactic implantation of a defibrillator is the treatment of choice. (9) If ventricular fibrillation is detected, a pulse of electricity is automatically generated, which normalizes the excitation of the heart muscle and saves the person's life.

  (10)

  "When an implanted defibrillator is triggered, which unfortunately can also happen because of false detection of arrhythmia, it is always a very traumatic event for the patient", says the head of the study, Junior-Professor Philipp Sasse of the Institute of Physiology I at the University of Bonn. (11) "The strong electrical shock is very painful and can even damage the heart further". (12) Therefore, Professor Sasse's team investigated the principles for a pain-free, gentler alternative. (13) As the scientists have now shown, ventricular fibrillation can be stopped by optical defibrillation.

  What is the main idea of this text?

  A. Traditional defibrillators cause painful shocks that may damage the heart.
  B. New research has suggested that light stimuli may be a gentler but effective way to treat cardiac arrhythmia.
  C. More research should be done to determine the cause of cardiac arrhythmia.
  D. The University of Bonn is at the cutting edge of cardiac research.
  B. New research has suggested that light stimuli may be a gentler but effective way to treat cardiac arrhythmia.
