An organization must not discriminate against any employee whether current or potential, on the grounds of religion, race, sex, color, ethnic background etc. All policies and procedures must be neutral to these factors. Not following this policy will prevent the organization in scaling up.

Respecting & Promoting Diversity

Safguarding Against Sexual & Other Harrassment

Presence of harassment of any kind, whether real or perceived, is likely to hit the productivity very badly besides leading to attrition and other employee-issues. This is for obvious reasons. What is not so obvious is the fact that such matters cause loss in productivity and consume precious time and resources in sorting the matter out.

Whistle Blowing

Company Ombudsman

A company ombudsperson is a must-have to ensure that the employee work-force remains disciplined and focused on the company’s business objectives. It is designed to allow reporting of any violation or breach in company’s policies by employees at all levels and to ensure that the reporting employee is not victimized subsequently.

| |
|
Employee Listening Post
|
An employee listening post can do wonders to the perception that the employees hold of the organization. It also provides a crucial inroad into the underlying employee issues and acts as a lead provider in dispelling rumors spread through grapevine.
|
| |
|
Employee Code of Conduct
|
In order to maintain the required discipline, all organizations must define a detailed code of conduct which is applicable to all employees. This is an absolute necessity as it provides an underlying skeletal structure to the process of performance.
|
| |
|
Employee Health & Safety
|
A healthy employee coupled with a healthy, safe and conducive working environment is an absolute must for long term sustained performance excellence. Research in management studies has already shown that the immediate work-surroundings can have a profound impact on the productivity. Thus, a healthy employee and a healthy environment leads to healthy results as well.
