Policy Statement 

The conduct of employees, either in the manner in which they undertake their individual duties and responsibilities, or the way in which they relate to their colleagues, customers, suppliers, etc. is of critical importance in determining the image, reputation and ultimately the success of Bright Brains Global.

Definition

Employee Responsibilities are workplace duties that the employees carry out on a regular basis.

Purpose

To provide all employees with a general overview of how Bright Brains Global views their individual responsibilities at work. Minor breaches of this Policy may be dealt with informally, although repeated violations or more serious infringements will be dealt with via the Disciplinary Policy.

In some situations, where major breaches are alleged, legal action may follow.

Procedure

General conduct 

All employees are required:

• to conduct themselves at all times in a cordial, respectful and courteous manner. This applies to all relationships at work, and therefore includes all work colleagues, customers, suppliers, complainants, etc.;

• to devote their whole time, attention and abilities to their duties whilst at work;

• to take reasonable care for the health and safety of themselves and of other persons who may be affected by their acts or omissions at work, and to co-operate with Bright Brains Global, or any other person, in ensuring that requirements or duties imposed by the relevant statutory provisions governing Health and Safety at Work are complied with;

• not at any time during their employment to engage or become interested in any trade, business or occupation which in any way conflicts with Bright Brains Global interest and activities;

• not to divulge or disclose to any unauthorised person(s) (person shall include firm or company) or make use of, for their own, or any other person’s benefit, either during or after their employment with Bright Brains Global any trade secrets or matters of a confidential nature, including, for example, financial details of Bright Brains Global performance, associated management/financial accounts, research and development activities, details of contract prices/terms and customers/clients details;

• upon the termination of their employment to immediately return any correspondence and other documents, specifications, papers (in electronic or paper form) and property belonging to Bright Brains Global or any other associated Company which may have been prepared by them or have come into their possession or control in the course of their employment and shall not retain any copies;

• whether as principal, servant or agent not to directly or indirectly solicit or endeavour to entice away from Bright Brains Global any person who at the time of termination is an employee of Bright Brains Global.

Adherence to Policy

In addition to the examples given above, Bright Brains Global Disciplinary Policy also provides further examples of specific conduct which may result in disciplinary action.

Employees are also reminded of the following policies which also, by their nature, infer certain standards of conduct and attitude which must be adhered to:

• Dignity at Work;
• Equal Opportunities;
• Solicitations and Gifts;
• Substance Abuse.

The above list is not exhaustive, and may be amended or added to at any time.

Dress Code and Appearance

The way in which we dress and our general appearance reflects not only our personal image and standards but inevitably reflect also upon the image that people have of Bright Brains Global and of the services we provide.

Review and Improvement

This Policy will be amended from time to time to ensure it remains up-to-date.
