Uncompromising integrity

In order to maintain a profile of uncompromising integrity and strict ethical conduct, we expect that employees maintain their own personal integrity in work situations. Omega 365’s profile is built on the actions of every employee. In order to assess your ethical integrity, ask yourself the following questions:

• Can I justify my actions to each of the parties involved?
• Have I discussed the situation with my manager and/or other colleagues?
