Its critical to always think of the long-term view of our decisions and not just the immediate gratification.

 

Relationships and The Workplace

We understand sometimes associates engage in personal and/or romantic relationships outside of the company hours. Associates who are involved in a dating relationship must be reported to human resources if they are directly supervising another associate or have any direct or indirect control of compensation, scheduling, training, etc.

Fellow co workers can feel favoritism is taking place which can hurt a specific team and or moral of the company. In addition, conflicts that occur outside of the workplace can be carried into the day to day working environment hurting customer service and relationships with other team members.

The company does not prohibit personal relationships entirely but needs to monitor each situation where one associate may have power or influence over another.

 

Business Conflicts

Associates have an obligation to report all transactions with vendors, clients and any outside firms we conduct business with. This includes but not limited to kickbacks, bribes, free work, free product, price breaks or any quid pro quo (I give you this and you give me that).

Any family members and/or personal relationships with outside firms must be reported to management. This can include ownership stakes, management roles, employment, etc.

The existence of a relationship doesn’t preclude the company from conducting business with an associates family member but does need to be reported.

 

 

Additional Employment

Employees can hold jobs outside of the company if it does not interfere with employment at our company. Every associate is held to the same standard regardless of conditions from outside jobs. If performance is not being met the company reserves the right to request a modification of outside duties or resigning if required.

Employees are not allowed to work for current clients, vendors or any firm we conduct business with without prior authorization.
