SEPERATOR

ABA’s Employee Code of Conduct Company Policy outlines our expectations regarding employees’ behavior towards their colleagues, supervisors and overall organization.

We encourage freedom of expression and open communication. Having said that, we expect all our employees to strictly follow our “code of conduct”. Our employees should avoid offending, participating in serious disputes and disrupting our workplace. We expect them to behave in a professional manner to reflect the name of the company they carry.

Scope
This policy applies to all our employees regardless of their contract of employment or rank.

Policy elements
Our employees are bound by their contract of employment to follow our Employee Code of Conduct while performing their duties. We outline the components of our Code of Conduct below:
