Individual Responsibility and Involvement
The skills and the commitment of our people are our greatest asset. Our culture expects and encourages employees to conduct business with an entrepreneurial attitude by accepting individual responsibility. We collaborate with colleagues to achieve our common goals with reliability and commitment.
Mutual Respect and Openness
All relations among directors, managers and employees of all levels and regions are guided by mutual respect, openness, honesty and the spirit of trust and cooperation. We offer and seek feedback, and we communicate actively and openly. We are committed to a fair and open debate by seeking varying opinions. We encourage colleagues to express their ideas and concerns. We support an open-mind, open-DOOR policy and initiatives to share and exchange knowledge.
Diversity and Discrimination
Employee diversity is a guiding principle of our employment policy. We promote the diversity and heterogeneity of individuals to attain the highest possible productivity, creativity and efficiency. Skills, performance and ethical conduct are our only indicators for employee qualification. We do not discriminate or tolerate discrimination regarding gender, race, religion, age, disability, sexual orientation, national origin or any other characteristic protected by law.
Each employee is required to contribute to an environment of respect that precludes any kind of harassment, including bullying, inappropriate sexual advances or physical contact, propositions or a hostile environment of demeaning jokes, words or comments.
Company Property
Each employee is responsible for safeguarding and making proper use of DI property. The use of company property, including labor, supplies, equipment, buildings or other assets for personal benefit is prohibited unless explicitly allowed by agreement. In addition, intellectual property is a valuable asset that must be protected from unauthorized use or disclosure. Such property includes trade secrets, confidential information, copyrights, trademarks and logos. It also includes customer lists, business opportunities and product specifications owned by DI or its business partners.
Legal Proceedings
Employees must avoid activities that could involve DI or its personnel in any unlawful practice, including for illegal gain. Legal proceedings must be handled quickly and properly to protect and defend the company. Employees who are threatened by legal proceedings are required to contact their manager immediately.
Health Management
Our employees deserve to work in a safe and healthy environment. We strive to foster the physical and psychological “well being” of our employees with fewer illnesses and a nonexistent accident rate. We promote health care as a key element of sustained productivity and the quality of our services. Drug use in the workplace is prohibited. Violence, including threatening and intimidating behavior, is also prohibited.
