Ethics Policy

Executive Compass® has an established set of general work rules to protect both the interests of the employee and the company. These rules are intended to ensure a favourable working environment and the list of rules serves as a guideline and is not all-inclusive. Failure to abide by these rules may result in disciplinary action being taken by Executive Compass® in line with the Disciplinary Procedure documented in Staff Handbook.

The aim of this policy is to build and sustain Executive Compass® with a positive work culture by ensuring that we:

• have a clear unambiguous purpose, expressed as a simple ‘big idea’, an idea which all employees relate to closely and are proud to discuss with friends and colleagues.
• have an atmosphere of confidence, where all employees are interested in each other, support each other and project this confidence towards clients and customers.
• where employees behave respectfully towards each other, value each other’s views and opinions, work in teams which are places of mutual support, where anything is debated without a hint of humiliation, where the critique of individual and team work is welcomed, discussed and where lessons are learnt and implemented.
• where employees ‘go the extra mile’ by providing unsolicited ideas, thoughts and stimuli to one another , and where their interest in their customers offers something more than is expected, beyond courtesy, and beyond service, offering attentiveness and personal interest.
• provide challenges for employees which provide opportunities for personal development through new experiences, and which treat everyone with fairness and understanding.
• have employees who are personally driven towards organisation and personal success – intellectually, financially, socially and emotionally.

• perform work assigned to them and carry out the instructions of anyone in Management.
