Employee Ethics and Conduct Policy.

Purpose and Scope

Our Employee Code of Conduct company policy outlines our expectations regarding employees’ behaviour towards not only their colleagues, supervisors and overall organisation, but to the clients, customers and suppliers alike.

We are aware that many clients come to The Nest, because of our more remote location and value the privacy that brings. Our staff are reminded of the confidentiality that is a necessity and highly valued to bring about a “safe space” for clients to trust us in helping to Nurture them, allowing them to Flourish and Thrive.

This policy applies to all our employees regardless of employment agreement or rank.

Policy Elements

·       Legal compliance - 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 behaviour, harassment or victimisation. Employees should conform with our equal opportunity policy in all aspects of their work from recruitment and performance evaluation to interpersonal relations.

·       Professionalism - All employees must exemplify integrity and professionalism in the workplace.

·       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 fulfil their job duties with integrity and respect toward clients, suppliers, stakeholders, and the wider community. Supervisors and managers must not abuse their authority. We expect upper management to oversee all aspects of the business and allocate responsibilities accordingly and to promote growth for the business. Likewise, we expect team members to follow team leaders’ instructions and complete their duties with skill and in a timely manner. We encourage mentorship throughout our company.

·       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.

·       Collaboration - Given the nature of our business, employees are encouraged to communicate and collaborate throughout the project life cycle not only with clients and stakeholders, but with each other. This collaboration ensures multiple viewpoints to address and resolve issues, and promotes a positive, creative working environment.

Kind Regards,
