Our Commitments to Each Other
Each of us deserves to work in an environment where we are
treated fairly and with respect. In addition, we have a right to a safe,
healthy and secure workplace in which our talents and strengths can flourish.
Maintaining a Positive Workplace
By creating a welcoming work environment, we capitalize on
the varied backgrounds, experiences and talents of a diverse workforce. This
helps to ensure success wherever we do business. To promote diversity, we do
not make employment-related decisions on the basis of any characteristics
protected by applicable law. Such characteristics may include age, color,
gender, gender identity, national origin, physical or mental disability, race,
religion, sexual orientation and all other legally protected personal
characteristics.
We are likewise entitled to a working environment that is
free from harassment. “Harassment” generally includes offensive behavior that
interferes with another person’s work environment or has the purpose or effect
of creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment. Harassing
conduct can take many forms—it can be physical, spoken, written or visual, and
can be sexual or non-sexual in nature. Regardless of its form, this conduct is
strictly prohibited. This is true regardless of whether an associate or
non-associate commits the conduct, and regardless of whether the harassment
claim is enforceable under local law.
Protecting Associate Data
Tracking Innovations collects and uses private and sensitive
information about our associates for routine business purposes. Depending upon
where we are doing business, data privacy laws may vary. We must follow all
applicable data privacy laws, as well as related Company practices and
procedures at all times. This means we must respect the privacy of one
another’s confidential information by only accessing and/or sharing it when
there is a legitimate business need to do so, and only after having obtained
the proper approvals.
Before communicating private and sensitive associate information
to a third party, you must obtain prior approval from our CIO. When providing
access to this information, you must do so according to our corporate security
procedures.
Ensuring Workplace Safety and Health
Tracking Innovations has made a commitment to provide us a
safe work environment. To assist our Company in meeting this goal, each of is
responsible for upholding safe work practices and following all of the safety
and security procedures and policies that apply to our jobs. Report any
work-related injuries, accidents and other safety issues or concerns to your
manager or department head at once.
Performing work while under the influence of alcohol,
illegal drugs or improperly used prescription medication is unsafe and puts us
all at risk. This behavior is absolutely prohibited, whether we are on or off
Company property, and whether we are using such substances before or during
work hours. Working under the influence of any of these substances will be
regarded as serious misconduct. The only exception to this rule is when alcohol
is consumed in moderation at business dinners and at certain authorized Company
events.
There is no greater threat to workplace safety than acts or
threats of violence. Any such act may subject the individuals involved to discipline,
up to and including termination. Personal weapons that can be used to harm
others may never be brought into the workplace. In addition, you cannot be in
possession of such weapons on workplace grounds, except when allowed by local
law. If you feel someone in our workplace is in immediate danger, contact the
local authorities at once.
