The Employee Code of Conduct is intended to help employees conform to high ethical standards and to protect the company and its employees’ reputations. Broadly, it promotes the company business's values by giving guidance to staff on how the company expect them to behave in the workplace, and how they should conduct themselves with customers, suppliers and even members of the public.

A Code of Conduct can give your employees clear guidelines on what you expect of them, and help to maintain productivity, avoid grievances and give a good impression to customers and suppliers.

This Code, although not addressing every situation employees may face, does provide a guide to the values, behaviours and ways of working which are core to any organization.
