<p>A company Code of Conduct is a written collection of the rules, principles, values, and employee expectations, behavior, and relationships that an organization considers significant and believes are fundamental to their successful operation. A company Code of Conduct enumerates those standards and <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://humanresources.about.com/od/strategicplanning1/a/organizvalues.htm">values</a> that make an organization remarkable and that enable it to stand out from similar organizations.</p>...<p><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://humanresources.about.com/b/2010/07/28/code-of-conduct.htm">Read Full Post</a></p><br />Source: http://humanresources.about.com/b/2010/07/28/code-of-conduct.htm
