Ethics Policy
Ethics Policy :
Policy Brief & Purpose : Our Professional Code Of Ethics Policy Aims To Give Our Employees Guidelines On Our Business Ethics And Stance On Various Controversial Matters. We Trust You To Use Your Better Judgment, But We Want To Provide You With A Concrete Guide You Can Fall Back On If You Are Unsure About How You Should Act (E.G. In Cases Of Conflict Of Interest). We Will Also Use This Policy To Outline The Consequences Of Violating Our Business Code Of Ethics.
Scope :
This Policy Applies To Everyone We Employ Or Have Business Relations With. This Includes Individual People Such As Employees, Interns, Volunteers, But Also Business Entities, Such As Vendors, Enterprise Customers Or Venture Capital Companies.
Policy Elements :
What Is Meant By Code Of Professional Ethics..?
First, Let’s Define Professional Ethics : They Are A Set Of Principles That Guide The Behavior Of People In A Business Context. They Are Essential To Maintaining The Legality Of Business And A Healthy Workplace.
What Is The Purpose Of A Professional Code Of Ethics..?
Having Our Business Ethics In Writing Doesn’t Mean That We Don’t Trust Our Employees. We Strive To Hire Ethical People Who Have Their Own Personal Standards, So We Expect That A Written Code Won’t Be Necessary Most Of The Time.
But, It Can Still Be Helpful. You May Find Yourself In A Situation Where You Are Not Sure How You Should Act. Life Is Full Of Grey Areas Where Right And Wrong Aren’t So Apparent. Some Professional Ethics Also Correspond To Laws That You Absolutely Must Know To Do Your Job Properly, So We Will Mention Them In Our Code Of Ethics.
Additionally, Every Organization Makes Bad Hires Every Once In A While. We Also Can’t Predict How People Are Going To Behave. When An Employee Behaves, Or Intents To Behave, In A Way That’s Against Our Professional Ethics, Or Applicable Laws, We Will Have Clear Guidelines On What Disciplinary Actions We Will Consider.
The Components Of Our Code of Professional Ethics :
We Base Our Business Code Of Ethics On Common Principles Of Ethics
- Respect For Others : Treat People As You Want To Be Treated.
- Integrity And Honesty : Tell The Truth And Avoid Any Wrong Doing To The Best Of Your Ability.
- Justice : Make Sure You Are Objective And Fair And Don’t Disadvantage Others.
- Lawfulness : Know And Follow The Law Always.
- Competence And Accountability : Work Hard And Be Responsible For Your Work.
- Teamwork : Collaborate And Ask For Help.
Here’s a More Detailed Overview Of Our Code
Respect For Others :
It’s Mandatory To Respect Everyone You Interact With. Be Kind, Polite And Understanding. You Must Respect Others’ Personal Space, Opinions And Privacy. Any Kind Of Violence Is Strictly Prohibited And Will Result In Immediate Termination. You Are Also Not Allowed To Harass Or Victimize Others.
Integrity And Honesty :
First, Always Keep In Mind Our Organization’s Mission. We All Work Together To Achieve Specific Outcomes. Your Behavior Should Contribute To Our Goals, Whether Financial Or Organizational. Be Honest And Transparent When You Act In Ways That Impact Other People. We Don’t Tolerate Malicious, Deceitful Or Petty Conduct. Lies And Cheating Are Huge Red Flags And, If You Are Discovered, You May Face Progressive Discipline Or Immediate Termination Depending On The Damage You Did. Stealing From The Company Or Other People Is Illegal. If You Steal Money Or Data (E.G. Engaging In Fraud Or Embezzlement), You Will Get Fired And Face Legal Consequences.
Justice :
Don’t Act In A Way That Exploits Others, Their Hard Work Or Their Mistakes. Give Everyone Equal Opportunity And Speak Up When Someone Else Doesn’t.
Lawfulness :
You Are Obliged To Follow All Laws Which Apply To Our Organization. Depending On Your Role And Profession, There Might Be Various Laws You Need To Observe. You Are Also Covered By Our Confidentiality And Data Protection Policy. You Must Not Expose, Disclose Or Endanger Information Of Customers, Employees, Stakeholders Or Our Business. Always Follow Our Cybersecurity Policy, Too.
Competence And Accountability :
We All Need To Put A Healthy Amount Of Effort In Our Work. Not Just Because We Are All Responsible For The Organization’s Success, But Also Because Slacking Off Affects Our Colleagues. Incomplete Or Slow Working Might Hinder Other People’s Work Or Cause Them To Shoulder The Burden Themselves. This Comes In Direct Conflict With Our Respect And Integrity Principles.
Teamwork :
Working Well With Others Is A Virtue, Rather Than An Obligation. You Will Certainly Get To Work Autonomously And Be Focused On Your Own Projects And Responsibilities. But, You Should Also Be Ready To Collaborate With And Help Others.
Be Generous With Your Expertise And Knowledge. Be Open To Learning And Evolving. If Days Go By Without You Consulting Or Brainstorming With Anyone, You Are Missing Out On Opportunities For Excellence. Instead, Work With Others And Don’t Hesitate To Ask For Help When You Need It.
