Motto of O-CCR (Office of Concept of Complete Religion)

The motto of the present website is to rediscover, and bring out the spirit of hope and opportunity laying unexplored or latent in the hearts of millions and millions of men and women from different systems of knowledge, i.e., science, religion and culture. O-CCR is a humble effort to raise a global network of understanding by stitching the various centroids of inner truth potent in every system of religion, science and culture of all humanity. The aggregated spirit awaits a recovery and a recognition, and it is this spirit what is termed as the spirit of ‘Complete religion’. The website present a non- discriminating and all-assimilative parliament of the Concept of Complete Religion.

It is evident in the following words:

“If the Parliament of Religions has shown anything to the world, it is this: It has proved to the world that holiness, purity and charity are not the exclusive possessions of any church in the world, and that every system has produced men and women of the most exalted character. In the face of this evidence, if anybody dreams of the exclusive survival of his own religion and the destruction of the others, I pity him from the bottom of my heart, and point out to him that upon the banner of every religion will soon be written in spite of resistance: "Help and not fight," "Assimilation and not Destruction," "Harmony and Peace and not Dissension”.

Objective

O-CCR (Office of Concept of Complete Religion) is committed to a work environment in which all individuals are treated with equal respect and dignity. Each individual has the right to work in his or her own professional and academic atmosphere that promotes equal employment opportunities and prohibits unlawful discriminatory practices, including harassment, and at the same independently contribute to the non-profitable academic publication, outreach and dissemination activities of O-CCR. Therefore, O- CCR expects that all relationships among persons in the office is guided by the spirit of humane, unconditional business-like and free of explicit bias, prejudice and harassment.

Equal perception opportunity

It is the policy of O-CCR to ensure equal employment opportunity without discrimination or harassment on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability, marital status, citizenship, national origin, genetic information, or any other characteristic protected by law.

O-CCR prohibits any such discrimination or harassment, by giving equal emphasis and attention all global systems of sciences, religions and culture. O-CCR primarily believes in the spirit of a cooperative network between these systems and a constant urge, processing and making of an evolving global platform of interconnectedness and cooperation between the aforesaid systems, giving equal attention to men and women of all global systems of sciences, religions and culture. The universal O-CCR network is designed to go beyond any narrow implication forwarded by race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability, marital status, citizenship, national origin, genetic information, or any other characteristic that is protected by law. The platform empowers O-CCR to deal with any incidents of a) retaliation; b) sexual harassment; c) general harassment, accordingly and the dealing is under the ambit of multi-disciplinary and trans-disciplinary exchanges of knowledge systems of sciences, religions and cultures based on altruism, multinational humanity and pan-egalitarian features of academic and allied exchanges.

Complaint Procedure

O-CCR encourages the prompt reporting of complaints or concerns so that rapid and constructive action can be taken before relationships become irreparably strained. Therefore, while no fixed reporting period has been established, early reporting and intervention have proven to be the most effective method of resolving actual or perceived incidents of harassment.

Any reported allegations of harassment, discrimination or retaliation will be investigated promptly. The investigation may include individual interviews with the parties involved and, where necessary, with individuals who may have observed the alleged conduct or may have other relevant knowledge.

O-CCR will maintain confidentiality throughout the investigatory process to the extent consistent with adequate investigation and appropriate corrective action

Retaliation against an individual for reporting harassment or discrimination or for participating in an investigation of a claim of harassment or discrimination is a serious violation of this policy and, like harassment or discrimination itself, will be subject to disciplinary action. Acts of retaliation should be reported immediately and will be promptly investigated and addressed.

Misconduct constituting harassment, discrimination or retaliation will be dealt with appropriately. Responsive action may include, for example, training, referral to counseling or disciplinary action such as a warning, reprimand, withholding of a promotion or pay increase, reassignment, temporary suspension without pay, or termination, as O-CCR believes appropriate under the circumstances.

If a party to a complaint does not agree with its resolution that party may appeal to O- CCR’s Coordinator and/ team of associate coordinators.

False and malicious complaints of harassment, discrimination or retaliation (as opposed to complaints that, even if erroneous, are made in good faith) may be the subject of appropriate disciplinary action.
