You’ve built and run 24/7 service operations across multiple service centers where every second of response time matters. You’ve taken an organization from a few thousand clients to more than 10,000 across all United States timezones and know exactly what breaks along the way: staffing models, queues, quality, and the management layers holding it all together.

We are responsible for preventing violations of law and for speaking up if we see possible violations. Create a Culture of Open and Honest Communication: At SafeinHome everyone should feel comfortable to speak his or her mind, particularly with respect to ethics concerns. Managers have a responsibility to create an open and supportive environment where employees feel comfortable raising such questions. We all benefit tremendously when employees exercise their power to prevent mistakes or wrongdoing by asking the right questions at the right times. Respect for the Individual: We all deserve to work in an environment where we are treated with dignity and respect.

Build Trust and Credibility: The success of our business is dependent on the trust and confidence we earn from our employees, customers and shareholders. We gain credibility by adhering to our commitments, displaying honesty and integrity and reaching company goals solely through honorable conduct. Set Tone at the Top: Management has the added responsibility for demonstrating, through their actions, the importance of this Code. In any business, ethical behavior does not simply happen; it is the product of clear and direct communication of behavioral expectations, modeled from the top and demonstrated by example.
