Non-Discrimination

Affirmative Action

Mankato Clinic will provide equal opportunity to all our employees and applicants for employment in accordance with all equal employment opportunity/affirmative action laws, as well as, other federal, state and local employment legislation.

We will not in any way discriminate or harass any employee or prospective applicant for employment due to race, color, creed, national origin, age, gender, affectional preference or status, religion, disability, genetic information, veteran or marital status, familial status, status with regard to public assistance, or any other characteristics protected by law. This applies to, hiring, recruitment, or recruitment advertising, selection, promotions, demotions, transfer, layoffs, training, disciplinary action, termination, rates of pay or other forms of compensation, and benefit administration.

We believe in the principles incorporated in Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act. This Act prohibits companies from unlawfully discriminating against otherwise qualified employees or job applicants with disabilities when making employment decisions. We will make employment decisions based on the essential skills and an employee’s or applicant’s abilities, not disabilities.

Mankato Clinic will use its best efforts to afford minority and female business enterprises with the maximum practicable opportunity to participate in the performance of subcontracts for construction projects that this employer engages in. Mankato Clinic fully supports incorporation of non-discrimination and affirmative action rules and regulations into contracts. We actively foster diversity, equity, inclusion and cultural competency through our interactions with patients, coworkers, and the community. This includes:

• Creating a leadership team that guides this work for the organization
• Assessing our recruitment and hiring practices to ensure we are attracting and hiring a diverse workforce
• Collaborating with organizations that are addressing these issues and learn best practices
• Engaging providers and employees in this initiative by offering opportunities for them to participate in committees
• Working on the development of diversity, equity and inclusion training sessions
