Employees will present themselves in a professional manner and treat one another with dignity and respect.

This policy applies to FORUS Industry and all FORUS’ businesses and subsidiaries worldwide, including joint ventures and similar partnerships managed by FORUS Industry.

Performance

FORUS Industry provides its employees with challenging assignments, opportunities to develop new skills and qualifications and opportunities to excel through performance. We communicate our expectations through individual and organizational goals and objectives. We expect employees to take the initiative to ask questions and request assistance from supervisors when and as needed to fulfill their goals, to perform at the highest level and to pursue their interests and fulfill their potential in alignment with company objectives. We offer constructive feedback and opportunities for employees to improve performance through annual performance evaluations, or more frequent verbal or written communications and interactions with supervisors and functional managers. When employee conduct or performance does not meet requirements, we may use a process of verbal and/or written communication and discipline to provide employees with reasonable opportunities to improve and maintain performance and conduct at acceptable levels. Behaviors or performance that are disruptive to the workplace, other employees or the company’s work or work products will result in immediate disciplinary action that may include termination.

This policy applies to FORUS Industry and all FORUS’ businesses and subsidiaries worldwide, including joint ventures and similar partnerships managed by FORUS Industry.

Professional Development

FORUS Industry encourages and supports training and development, participation in professional organizations, professional registrations and educational programs for its employees as a means to strengthen individual knowledge and skills, which are related to their assigned duties and that, are necessary or desirable in order to sustain the excellence of services provided by FORUS Industry. In addition to sponsoring internal education programs, with advance supervisor approval, the company may provide financial assistance to employees in the form of normal pay for the time requirements to take a competency examination (if during normal business hours) and reimbursement for the fees and materials required to prepare for and take the exam.

Diversity

FORUS Industry is committed to fostering, cultivating and preserving a culture of diversity and inclusion. Our human capital is the most valuable asset we have. Diversity is a FORUS Industry Core Value which encompasses:

• Diversity of thought and perspective - FORUS Industry strives to ensure an environment of collaboration where ideas can flourish and diverse opinions about important business issues are freely expressed through respectful communication. A collaborative environment is essential to fostering innovation and solving technical challenges for our clients and our business. In the conduct of our business, all managers, supervisors and employees should leverage the unique perspectives that others bring to the workplace by embracing those diverse opinions and viewpoints to benefit our business. FORUS Industry will maintain its reputation as an employer of choice, with a culture which champions diversity of thought and perspective.
• Inclusion - FORUS Industry fosters an environment where all employees feel they are respected and valued for their individual differences, life experiences, knowledge, inventiveness, innovation, and talent in order to do their best work. An inclusive workplace is one in which employees feel they are a critical part of our success which improves motivation and morale, and represents every employee’s ability to contribute to the collaborative process. Teamwork, active employee participation, representation of all groups and employee perspectives, and flexibility in work arrangements are essential elements toward cultivating an inclusive environment. To sustain an inclusive environment, company-sponsored events and activities will continue to be conducted in venues that appeal to broad sections of the FORUS Industry community and do not limit access on the basis of race, gender or creed. Events organized at the department, sector or project level should be thoughtfully planned to encourage full participation and to make everyone feel like they “belong” in that particular setting.
• Diversity of workforce - FORUS Industry values the unique attributes of all our employees and recognizes that a workforce of diverse backgrounds, beliefs, experiences and perspectives can greatly contribute to our business success.
• Fair Treatment - FORUS Industry is committed to ensuring fair treatment for all employees so that all are treated with dignity and respect. In order for every employee to reach their potential, all aspects and activities of the employment relationship will be conducted accordingly.
