Employee Code of Conduct Policy
Policy brief & company values
Our Employee Code of Conduct policy outlines our expectations regarding employees' behavior
towards their colleagues, supervisors, and overall organization.
We promote freedom of expression and open communication. But we expect all employees to follow our
code of conduct. They should avoid offending, participating in serious disputes and disrupting our
workplace. We also expect them to foster a well-organized, respectful, and collaborative environment.
Scope
This policy applies to all our employees regardless of employment agreement or rank.
Policy elements
What are the components of an Employee Code of Conduct Policy?
Employees are bound by their contract to follow our Employee Code of Conduct while performing their
duties. We outline the components of our Code of Conduct below:
Compliance with law
All employees must protect our company's legality. They should comply with all environmental, safety
and fair dealing laws. We expect employees to be ethical and responsible when dealing with our
company's finances, products, partnerships, and public image.
Respect in the workplace
All employees should respect their colleagues. We won't allow any kind of discriminatory behavior,
harassment or victimization. Employees should conform with our equal opportunity policy in all aspects
of their work, from recruitment and performance evaluation to interpersonal relations.
Protection of company Property
All employees should treat our company's property, whether material or intangible, with respect and
care.
Employees:
● Shouldn't misuse company equipment or use it recklessly.
● Shouldn’t attempt to take or use any company equipment outside of the company’s territory,
unless already approved by the responsible manager.
● Should respect all kinds of incorporeal property. This includes trademarks, copyright, and other
property (information, reports etc.) Employees should use them only to complete their job duties.
Employees should protect company facilities and other material property (e.g. company cars) from
damage and vandalism, whenever possible.
Professionalism
All employees must show integrity and professionalism in the workplace:
● Personal appearance
All employees must follow our dress code and personal appearance guidelines.
● Shopfloor behavior
Employees are not allowed to use their phones in shopfloor areas. Only authorized personnel can use
their phone for work related purposes and only in allowed areas.
● Corruption
We discourage employees from accepting gifts from clients or partners. We prohibit briberies for the
benefit of any external or internal party.
● Job duties and authority
All employees should fulfill their job duties with integrity and respect toward customers, stakeholders,
and the community. Supervisors and managers mustn't abuse their authority. We expect them to
delegate duties to their team members taking into account their competences and workload. Likewise,
we expect team members to follow team leaders' instructions and complete their duties with skill and in
a timely manner.
● Absenteeism and tardiness
Employees should follow their schedules. We can make exceptions for occasions that prevent
employees from following standard working hours or days. But, generally, we expect employees to be
punctual when coming to and leaving from work.
● Conflict of interest
We expect employees to avoid any personal, financial, or other interests that might hinder their
capability or willingness to perform their job duties.
● Collaboration
Employees should be friendly and collaborative. They should try not to disrupt the workplace or present
obstacles to their colleagues' work.
● Communication
All employees must be open for communication with their colleagues, supervisors or team members.
● Benefits
We expect employees to not abuse their employment benefits. This can refer to time off, insurance,
facilities, subscriptions, or other benefits our company offers.
● Policies
All employees should read and follow our company policies. If they have any questions, they should ask
their managers or Human Resources (HR) department.
Disciplinary actions
Our company may have to take disciplinary action against employees who repeatedly or intentionally fail
to follow our code of conduct. Disciplinary actions will vary depending on the violation.
Possible consequences include:
● Demotion.
● Reprimand.
● Suspension or termination for more serious offenses.
● Detraction of benefits for a definite or indefinite time.
We may take legal action in cases of corruption, theft, embezzlement, or other unlawful behavior.
