Code of Conduct

I am committing to the following:

• Always greet employees, visitors, and residents with a smile while walking through building. Avoiding eye contact can appear cold and unwelcoming.

• Understand that I am a professional here at Evergreen and will act, speak, and appear as such.

• I will arrive to shift on time and mindful of the energy I bring.

• I will not discriminate based on race, ancestry, place of origin, colour, ethnicity, language, citizenship, creed, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, or marital status.

• Listen well to others and seek to understand before reacting. We can disagree openly without fear of reprisal.

• Inspire others with my thirst for excellence. I will avoid giving orders, but rather teach others to yearn for our standards and inspire.

• Will question actions or conversation that is inconsistent with our values.

• Collaborate effectively with others, nurture and embrace differing perspectives and opinions to create new powerful ideas.

• Do my part to prevent bullying and misinformation. I will intervene if someone is feeling marginalized and work to abolish gossip rather than feed into it. Only say things about fellow employees that you would say to their face.

• Thrive to improve myself. Ask colleagues “What could I be doing better?” and think to yourself “What feedback have I not yet shared?”

• Will avoid using improper nouns when addressing coworkers and tenants. Nouns such as Love, Hun, Sweetie, Dear, etc. could be offensive or uncomfortable to some.

• Understand that Internet use during work hours are restricted to company business only.

• My cellphone will remain in the staff room during working hours. I will access my phone on my break times.

• I will treat company property as if it were my own and will not abuse it in any way. I will ensure I have the knowledge to use equipment safety and properly to prevent damage to equipment or injury to myself.

• I understand company theft will result in immediate termination of my employment at Evergreen, no matter how little the value of the item. Includes food not included in the complementary offerings.
