Dear Staff Member:

As we begin a new season at Fenway Park, we welcome you to your summer home, and we hope you will do the same for our many guests. You will often be the person who determines whether our guests have a good time and choose to return.

John Henry, , and I thank you for representing us to the more than 2.6 million fans we hope will visit us this season. You are an extension of us, and we are grateful.

Our fans pay the highest prices for tickets in all of Major League , and they deserve the best of the three experiences we provide.

The first is baseball. Honoring our commitment to field a team worthy of the fans’ support, we have assembled one of the most talented (and expensive) in baseball. It represents the latest chapter in a rich, wonderful, and colorful history that includes 10 pennants and five World Championships. We hope that the history we write this year is the most rewarding yet.

The second is Fenway Park. It’s a monument to the origins of baseball and a testament to the cherished traditions of . It’s the oldest and smallest ballpark in —and like a dear old grandfather, it’s the most beloved. We are fortunate that people come from all over the world to see it.

The third is the fan experience. This part is all you. From the time fans leave their homes till they return home again, the people with whom they interact make a pivotal difference. Most likely, fans won’t meet Nomar, Manny, or Pedro. And despite our efforts, most won’t meet John, Tom, or me. But they will meet you. And that interaction can make or break their experience at the ballpark.

We ask that you be proactive. Go out of your way to welcome and talk to fans. Use your knowledge and resourcefulness to be helpful. The seven smartest words in English are, “I don’t know but I’ll find out.” If you kindly welcome, help, and thank people, they can have a wonderful experience regardless of the outcome of the game. On the other hand, rude, insensitive, and arrogant behavior can mar even the greatest game and the good name of the .

Working together, we have the opportunity to give New England and a summer of splendor. We have the chance to give families memories that they will clutch for decades. We ask Nomar, Manny, and Pedro to do their part. John, Tom, and I will do our part. And we ask you to do your part. You can—and do—make the difference.

We thank you.

Sincerely,

Larry Lucchino President/CEO

Fenway Park Game Day Employee Objectives

The primary objective is to provide a safe, clean, enjoyable experience for Red Sox fans. The understanding and adherence to the following guidelines is crucial to the success of the Fenway Park Team.

1. Safety All employees should have the safety of the fans and employees as their utmost concern. Employees should: ¥ Be alert for suspicious or dangerous obstacles and hazards, including overcrowded sections and elevators. ¥ Be aware of the closest usher, security guard, and first aid station and know how to contact any of them quickly in the case of an emergency.

2. Fan Courtesy Employees should: ¥Treat fans with an amount of courtesy, respect, and professionalism that exceeds their expectations. ¥Treat any fan’s problem or concern with the efficiency and effectiveness that the employee would expect for himself/ herself. ¥ Be friendly, helpful, and courtesy to all guests

3. Facility Cleanliness The cleanliness of Fenway Park is the responsibility of every member of the Fenway Park Team.

Fan Courtesy Performance Tips

Fans at Fenway Park should be treated as if they are guests in our own home. In fact, they are. Friendliness and helpfulness are essential aspects of each and every Fenway Park Team member. Fenway Park Team members should exceed the expectations of every Fenway Park patron regarding professionalism and courtesy.

¥ LEAVE PERSONAL PROBLEMS AT HOME

5 27847 Red Sox Handbook 4/3/03 4:53 PM Page 6

Proactive Steps to Professional Service

Fenway Park Team Members can make a fan’s experience a positive one by simple acts of kindness and courtesy. While these actions involve just a small amount of expended energy, they can make or break a fan’s experience. They can also make your work experience more fun.

1. Acknowledge every fan that you come in contact with, by: ¥ Saying hello ¥ Smiling ¥ Nodding ¥ Making Eye Contact ¥ Asking if the fan is enjoying his/her experience

2. Determine a Fan’s needs before the fan determines them ¥ Make a point of recognizing a fan’s need before the fan has to ask for help (does the fan need assistance with seating, a wheelchair, a carton to carry food or drinks, etc?).

3. Build a rapport with the fans ¥ Learn the faces and names of fans who repeatedly enter your area of the ballpark ¥ Make a point of starting conversations with these fans, and ask if there is anything you can do to make their experience more enjoyable

4. Express appreciation to fans, by saying: ¥ “Thanks for coming” ¥ “Enjoy the game”

Remember, you represent the Boston Red Sox organization and the Fenway Park Staff!!

Emergency Evacuation Procedure

In the event of an emergency developing within the stadium, you as a Fenway TEAM member will be called upon to assist in the safe evacuation of fans from the premises. Panic is one of the major causes of injury. By acting in a calm manner, you can reduce the panic, which naturally occurs when people are confronted with the possibility of injury or even death.

In the event of an emergency evacuation:

1. Public address and scoreboard announcement will advise the public that the ballpark is to be evacuated. a. Fans on the suite, 406 Club, and press levels will be asked to walk down the ramps in an orderly fashion, then leave the ballpark through the closest gate, and proceed to the nearest safe area. b. Fans in the Grandstand, Bleachers, and lower level seats may exit through the gate closest to their seats and proceed to the nearest safe area 2. Supervisors should check to be sure that all gates are unlocked. 3. Personnel at the various gates throughout the ballpark should immediately open all gates at their locations. THIS INCLUDES ALL EXIT AND ENTRY GATES. 4. Staff members should make sure that no exit is obstructed in any way. They should stay in their assigned areas to instruct fans to move out to the adjacent sidewalk and not block the exits. 5. Supervisors should stand on the concourse at their assigned sections to assist and direct fans to the nearest exit. 6. Ushers should stay at their sections and calmly direct fans to the nearest exit. 7. Elevators may NOT be operable during the evacuation depending on the emergency situation 8. Ask your Supervisor for specific instructions if you are unsure as to what to do

IF YOU REMAIN CALM AND HELPFUL, IT IS BOUND TO HELP RELIEVE FAN TENSION!

Statement of Employee Values

The Boston Red Sox as an organization has set basic values to guide our decisions and behavior within the workplace. The individual employees are the threads in the fabric of the Boston Red Sox, each one woven together with others. We should value each other highly.

We must always recognize both individual and cultural differences and be appreciative of any diversity that might exist when we are dealing with others. It is essential that we demonstrate pride in our organization by caring for each other through courteous and respectful actions and by working together as a team. We should be forthright and ethical in all of our dealings with others. Adherence to these basic values will serve to improve the quality of all of our work and fan services. We must remain mindful that conducting ourselves in a professional manner will ensure that the Red Sox name will always be worthy of respect and trust.

STATEMENT OF EMPLOYEE CONDUCT

All employees are expected to conduct themselves professionally, consistent with our objective of providing a safe, clean, enjoyable experience for Red Sox fans. Any behavior contrary to the policies or interests of the Boston Red Sox will result in disciplinary action, up to and including discharge, at the discretion of management. Performance and disciplinary issues are handled on a case-by-case basis, depending on the particular circumstances involved. All employees are at will, which means that either you or the Boston Red Sox can terminate your employment at any time, with or without cause or prior notice.

16 27847 Red Sox Handbook 4/3/03 4:53 PM Page 17

ANTI-HARASSMENT AND SEXUAL HARASSMENT POLICY

This policy applies to all employees, including supervisors and non-supervisors.

Introduction The Boston Red Sox support each employee’s right to work in an environment free from unlawful discrimination. We strictly enforce a prohibition against harassment, sexual or otherwise, of any of the Club’s employees by anyone, including any fellow employee, vendor, client, customer or other third party.

Harassment consists of unwelcome conduct, whether verbal or physical, that is based on a characteristic protected by law, such as sex, race, color, ancestry, national origin, religion, age, disability, or sexual orientation. Harassment is unlawful and the Boston Red Sox will not tolerate harassing conduct that affects employment conditions, that interferes unreasonably with an individual’s work performance, or that creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work environment.

To achieve our goal of providing a workplace free from harassment, the conduct that is described in this policy will not be tolerated and we have provided a procedure by which inappropriate conduct will be dealt with, if encountered by employees.

Further, any retaliation against an individual who has complained about harassment or retaliation against individuals for cooperating with an investigation of a harassment complaint is similarly unlawful and will not be tolerated.

The Boston Red Sox take allegations of harassment seriously and will respond promptly to complaints. Where it is

17 27847 Red Sox Handbook 4/3/03 4:53 PM Page 18

determined that inappropriate conduct has occurred, the Boston Red Sox will act promptly to eliminate the conduct and will impose corrective action as necessary, including disciplinary action where appropriate, which may include termination of employment.

Please note that while this policy sets forth our goals of promoting a workplace that is free of harassment, the policy is not designed or intended to limit our authority to discipline or take remedial action for workplace conduct which we deem unacceptable, regardless of whether that conduct satisfies the definition of harassment.

Definition Of Harassment “Harassment” means unwelcome conduct toward an employee, whether verbal or physical, that is based on a characteristic protected by law, or a protected characteristic of the employee’s relatives, friends or associates, which has the purpose or effect of creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive working environment. Harassment includes, but is not limited to:

¥ Display or circulation of written materials or pictures that are degrading to a person or group described above.

¥Verbal abuse or insults about, directed at, or made in the presence of an individual or group described above.

“Sexual harassment” means sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature when:

¥ Submission to or rejection of such advances, requests, or conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition employment or as a basis for employment decisions.

¥ Such advances, requests, or conduct have the purpose or effect of unreasonably 18 27847 Red Sox Handbook 4/3/03 4:53 PM Page 19

interfering with an individual’s work performance by creating an intimidating, hostile, humiliating, or sexually offensive work environment.

Under the definitions stated above, direct or implied requests by a supervisor for sexual favors in exchange for actual or promised job benefits such as favorable reviews, salary increases, promotions, increased benefits, or continued employment constitutes sexual harassment.

The definition of sexual harassment is broad. In addition to the above examples, other unwelcome sexually oriented conduct, whether intended or not, that has the effect of creating a work environment that is hostile, offensive, intimidating, or humiliating to either male or female workers also may constitute sexual harassment.

While it is not possible to list all circumstances that may be considered sexual harassment, the following are examples of conduct that is inappropriate and that, if unwelcome, may constitute sexual harassment. In each case, such a determination will depend upon the totality of the circumstances, including the severity of the conduct and its pervasiveness.

¥ Unwelcome sexual advances, whether they involve physical touching or not. ¥ Unwelcome leering, whistling, brushing against the body, sexual gestures, suggestive or insulting comments. ¥ Sexual epithets, jokes, written or verbal references to sexual conduct, comments about an individual’s body, comments about an individual’s sexual activity, deficiencies, or prowess. ¥ Discussion of one’s own sexual activities or inquiries into others’ sexual experiences. ¥ Displaying sexually suggestive objects, pictures, cartoons. 19 27847 Red Sox Handbook 4/3/03 4:53 PM Page 20

All employees should take special note that, as stated above, retaliation against an individual who has complained about sexual harassment, and retaliation against individuals for cooperating with an investigation of a sexual harassment complaint is unlawful and will not be tolerated by this organization.

Reporting Complaints of Harassment If any of our employees believes that he or she has been subjected to sexual harassment or any other harassment described above by anyone, including any fellow employee, vendor, client, customer or other third party, the individual has a right to file a complaint with the Boston Red Sox. This may be done verbally or in writing. If you would like to file a complaint you may do so by contacting your immediate supervisor or Elaine Steward, Vice President and Club Counsel, at (617) 236-6671 , Executive Vice President of Business Affairs, at (617) 236-6733 Michele Julian, Director of Human Resources, at (617) 375-0988 If you are an Aramark employee please contact, Julie Jordan at (617) 536-6683 All of whom may also be contacted at: 4 Yawkey Way Boston, MA 02215. These individuals are also available to discuss any concerns you may have and to provide information to you about our policy on harassment and our complaint process.

Complaint Investigation When the Boston Red Sox receive a complaint of harassment, we will investigate the allegation in a fair and expeditious manner. The investigation will be conducted in such a way as to maintain confidentiality to the extent practicable under the circumstances. Our investigation may include an interview with the person filing the complaint and also may include interviews with witnesses or other 20 27847 Red Sox Handbook 4/3/03 4:53 PM Page 21

individuals who we believe would be useful to the investigation. We also will interview the person(s) alleged to have committed the harassment.

When we have concluded our investigation, we will, to the extent appropriate, inform the person filing the complaint and the person(s) alleged to have committed the conduct of the results of the investigation.

If it is determined that inappropriate conduct has occurred, we will act promptly to eliminate the offending conduct, and where it is appropriate we will also impose disciplinary action.

Disciplinary Action If it is determined that inappropriate conduct has been committed by one of our employees we will take action that is appropriate under the circumstances. Action may range from counseling to termination of employment, and may include such other forms of disciplinary action as we deem appropriate under the circumstances.

Note that the failure of a supervisor or manager to report any knowledge of any incidents of harassment, by any offender, including any supervisor, co-worker, vendor, client, or customer at Fenway Park, will lead to disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal.

State and Federal Remedies In addition to the above, employees who believe they have been subjected to harassment may file a formal complaint with the respective state agency and/or the EEOC. Using the Boston Red Sox’s complaint process does not prohibit you from filing a complaint with these agencies. Each agency has a specific time period for filing a claim.
