We have a NEW Code of Conduct and we invite you to read it!
We recently rebranded Bethany’s Standards of Conduct and are delighted to introduce our new Code of Conduct to all employees, volunteers and contractors. This important document replaces the Standards of Conduct and is a comprehensive guide outlining how we conduct ourselves at Bethany.
To put it simply, our Code of Conduct is our guide for doing the right thing. It provides guidelines that help you incorporate Bethany’s Mission, Vision and Values, as well as our organizational policies and Service Excellence Standards into your work, whatever your role is at Bethany.
Our Code of Conduct is meant to empower all employees by providing guidance on how to navigate various situations that may be encountered day-to-day at work. It is the foundation for how care and services are provided at Bethany, as well as how business is conducted in the workplace. Our actions, appearance, conduct and demeanour are all a representation of Bethany to our colleagues, residents, families, partners and supporters. If we don’t follow the Code, there are consequences.
Whether you are a long-time Bethany employee or someone who recently joined our organization, the Code of Conduct will serve as a valuable reference, helping employees locate relevant documents, services and other ethics-related resources within the organization.
What’s NEW in the Code of Conduct?
- Content from both our Standards of Conduct and Standards for Service Excellence
- Stronger focus on values in action, ownership and empowerment
- Important information on living into WAVE and Bethany’s Mission, Vision and Values
- Information about updated Bethany policies reflecting recent changes to Occupational Health & Safety legislation and the legalization of cannabis.
Over the next few months, all employees will be required to review the Code of Conduct, take a mandatory quiz and sign an annual acknowledgement that you understand and are committed to the Code.
Watch for more information about the Code of Conduct in the November issue of Update! If you have any questions, please contact your Manager.
