Behaviour at the party
The Busy Bees Code of Conduct Policy and Workplace Health and Safety Policy will apply at work-related social events. Copies of these policies can be found on Promapp.
- Employees must be mindful not say or do anything at a work-related social event that may offend, intimidate, embarrass or upset any other person.
- Swearing and offensive language are unacceptable at work-related social events.
- Please be mindful of your standard of dress at events. Whilst cocktail attire is considered acceptable in this instance, we ask you to take a considered approach when dressing for your event or function.
- Employees must not behave in any way that could disrespect or bring the Company’s name into disrepute.
- Please familiarise yourself with these Policies and be aware of your obligations with regard to each of them. Note that alcohol consumption is not an excuse for behaviour that results in harassment, bullying or misconduct and is not an acceptable defence.
