Policies

Equal Employment Opportunity 

IDM Companies provides equal employment and advancement opportunities to all individuals. Employment decisions at IDM will be based on merit, qualifications and abilities. IDM does not discriminate in employment opportunities or practices on the basis of race, color, religion, gender (sex), national origin, age, veteran status, disability, genetic information or any other characteristic protected by applicable law. 

Unlawful Harassment & Discrimination 

IDM fosters an environment where every employee feels productive and comfortable. It’s our policy that all employees are able to work in a setting free from all forms of unlawful discrimination and retaliation. 

IDM Code of Business Conduct 

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. 

Respect for the Individual 

We all deserve to work in an environment where we are treated with dignity and respect. IDM is committed to creating such an environment because it brings out the full potential in each of us, which, in turn, contributes directly to our business success. IDM will not tolerate discrimination, harassment or any behavior or language that is abusive, offensive, or unwelcome. 

Avoid Conflicts of Interest 

We will avoid any relationship or activity that might impair, or even appear to impair, our ability to make objective and fair decisions when performing our jobs. At times, we may be faced with situations where the business actions we take on behalf of IDM may conflict with our own personal or family interests. We owe a duty to IDM to advance its legitimate interests when the opportunity to do so arises. We must never use IDM property or information for personal gain or personally take for ourselves any opportunity that is discovered through our position with IDM. 

In addition, IDM is committed to competing solely on the merit of our products and services. We should avoid any actions that create a perception that favorable treatment of outside entities by IDM was sought, received, or given in exchange for personal business courtesies. Business courtesies include gifts, gratuities, meals, refreshments, entertainment or other benefits from persons or companies with whom IDM does or may do business. We will neither give nor accept business courtesies that constitute, or could reasonably be perceived as constituting, unfair business inducements that would violate law, regulation or policies of IDM or customers, or would reflect negatively on IDM’s reputation. 

Confidential and Proprietary Information 

Integral to IDM’s business success is our protection of confidential company information, as well as nonpublic information entrusted to us by employees, customers, residents, and other business partners. Confidential and proprietary information includes such things as pricing and financial data, contacts, documents and workbooks, training materials, budgets, or nonpublic information about other companies, including current or potential suppliers and vendors. We will not disclose confidential and nonpublic information without a valid business purpose and proper authorization. All documents, electronic or printed, are to be considered proprietary to IDM Companies. 

Company Resources 

Company resources, including time, material, equipment, and information, are provided for company business use. Employees and those who represent IDM are trusted to behave responsibly and use good judgment to conserve company resources. Managers are responsible for the resources assigned to their departments and are empowered to resolve issues concerning their proper use. 

Do the Right Thing 

At times, we are all faced with decisions we would rather not have to make and issues we would prefer to avoid. Sometimes, we hope that if we avoid confronting a problem, it will simply go away. At IDM, we must have the courage to tackle the tough decisions and make difficult choices, secure in the knowledge that IDM is committed to doing the right thing. 

Although IDM’s guiding principles cannot address every issue or provide answers to every dilemma, they can define the spirit in which we intend to do business and should guide us in our daily conduct.
