Our labor practices are aligned with our philosophy that ‘People are the Business… Our Business is People’. We place people first and correspondingly put the highest priority on safe and healthy practices and systems of work. The right people will be placed in the right roles at the right time.
We treat everyone with dignity and respect. We seek to preserve each person’s dignity and sense of self-worth. We must make sure decisions affecting employees are based on business factors only. We must realize that our conduct outside the workplace may be attributed to the company and impact its reputation. This makes it necessary that we behave in a friendly, supportive, respectful, responsible and fair manner towards colleagues and all others in and outside the work place using good judgment. It is important that our work places are free from all forms of harassment including threatening phone calls or e-mails, humiliation and bullying. Hostility, intimidation, abuse, threats or acts of violence of any sort and degree, abusive language and gestures, distribution of insulting and offensive materials, pictures and cartoons are prohibited.
