Protecting Our Team Members

Boyd Gaming has built a comprehensive system of safeguards to protect team members from harassment or unethical behavior, and to empower them to voice objections or concerns regarding job-related issues.


Whistleblower Protection


Boyd Gaming has a robust system in place allowing team members to report inappropriate, unethical and/or illegal actions for investigation. We want to make certain that team members can disclose genuine concerns without feeling threatened, and accordingly we provide both a website and a 24/7 toll-free independent hotline allowing all team members to report concerns (anonymously if desired), which are then forwarded to Human Resources for further investigation.

Each year we issue a letter from our CEO to all team members that provides information on how this anonymous hotline works, and the importance of reporting misconduct or illegal behavior in the workplace.

Retaliation against a team member for participating in an investigation or filing a complaint is strictly prohibited, and such actions will be investigated by the company.*

Open Door Policy:

Our company encourages open lines of communication between our team members and management. Under our Open Door Policy, all Boyd team members have the right to meet directly with their manager, department head, property general manager and/or a corporate executive to express objections or concerns about work-related issues, or to share ideas or suggestions for the workplace.

EDRICK (Employment Disciplinary Review Committee):

EDRICK is a team member protection program that allows full-time, hourly, and non-supervisory team members to appeal certain job terminations to an independent panel for review. This panel, consisting of hourly team members as well as managers, is empowered to overturn any termination that is judged to be unjust or improper.

Anti-Harassment Training:

Every Boyd Gaming team member (full-time, part-time and on-call) is required to participate in annual anti-harassment training that identifies warning signs of harassment in the workplace, and reviews methods for reporting concerns or misconduct to the company. Additionally, every manager and executive must take a more in-depth course annually on how to identify and prevent harassment in the workforce, and how to properly report such issues to Human Resources for further investigation.
*Retaliation under this policy includes, but is not limited to, any negative job action such as demotion, discipline, termination, pay reduction and/or job or shift reassignment. Should any team member feel they have suffered or witnessed retaliation, the inappropriate conduct must be reported immediately, and an investigation into the alleged retaliation will be conducted.
