  • Code of Conduct Policy

    An employer may use this policy to clearly communicate its emphasis on high standards of ethics and on overall compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

  • Internal Investigations Policy

    Internal investigations are crucial for employers in responding to allegations of workplace misconduct.

  • Alternative Policy Concerning Unions

  • Global Diversity and Inclusion Mission Statement

    An employer may use this mission statement at the beginning of a diversity and inclusion initiative. The statement should explicitly name as many different aspects of diversity as the employer may wish to include, as it is better to be over-inclusive than under-inclusive.
