Code of Conduct Policy

What is a Code of Conduct Policy?

A Code of Conduct policy will define how employees are expected to behave in the workplace. Within it, there will be information around the daily practices, company values and culture. Each and every policy will be bespoke to the organization.

In publishing a good Code of Conduct policy, both employees and employers can rest assured of the guidelines concerning acceptable practices in the workplace.

Why do we need a Code of Conduct Policy?

Equipped with a properly thought-out code of conduct, any organization can clearly communicate it's mission, values and principles. Establishing what is expected as a standard of work for all employees is valuable for all members of an organization.

Through outlining the organization's values and principles, the company culture will be more clearly defined. The code of conduct policy can be used as a means to determine the relationships and expectations upon each individual.

benefits of a great code of conduct policy

Each organization needs a Code of Conduct Policy so that there is a written contract for the otherwise unspoken expectations around employee behavior.

Without an explicit policy that specifies acceptable and unacceptable behavior, it becomes increasingly difficult to coordinate the actions of any workforce. A Code of Conduct Policy has the power to coerce employees into performing in accordance with the company culture.
