Relationship Principles

We work in a single team, Unisoft, and the results of one employee's work are often related to the results of another.

The absolute principle in relationships within the team is the principle of corporate cohesion and responsibility for the final result.

In order to build the most effective and comfortable interaction between employees the Company applies the following principles:

Mutual respect, politeness and friendliness should guide communication. It is not necessary to be friends with everybody, but it is necessary to treat people with whom you communicate kindly and respectfully at least in order to receive the same reciprocal attitude.

In a working environment only constructive and result-oriented communication makes sense.

Openness and honesty are the necessary conditions for the work of the Company employees. We do not tolerate any covert intrigue and manipulation within our team.

If you need help the first thing to do is to speak up. In this case, any employee will be assisted. The first step in solving any problem is to label it. Ask for help, put your request in a memo, and you will get help. In turn, be prepared to help whoever approaches you.

Don't hide mistakes. Only he, who does nothing, does not make mistakes.

If you think that work in any area could be improved, do not hesitate to make a suggestion. The Company welcomes and encourages suggestions and initiatives from employees to improve the Company.

If you are unclear about a job, ask competent people immediately.

Avoid personal evaluations of people at work. Everyone deserves a second chance, even if they fail.

Express positive evaluations of other people's work in public whenever possible.

Express negative evaluations of other people's work as privately as possible.

Management and employees should make every effort to create an atmosphere of mutual trust, respect and reciprocity. However, it should be the trust of confident professionals, not a willingness to forgive any errors due to personal sympathy. After all, if one made a mistake, careless attitude to the work, then the other will have to fix it and do more work. This is unfair and unacceptable. Each employee knows his duties, which he must perform better, so that, firstly, to realize his potential of a whole creative person, and secondly, not to create additional difficulties to their colleagues and teammates. This attitude toward work creates a strong foundation for sincere friendships.

On the company premises, all employees should be sure to greet each other and visitors, regardless of the degree of familiarity. To build trust and respect, we should be accurate in meeting commitments and agreements, and be honest and open with our colleagues. Each business unit in general, and each Company employee in particular, contributes to the achievement of common goals, so a disconnected "us" and "them" attitude toward colleagues is unacceptable.

You should be true professionals in your work - your personal attitude toward your colleague should not express and influence the results of joint work.

Having your own point of view on professional issues, the Company employee should defend it in an open and constructive dialogue. The dialogue should be conducted in a correct manner, without any hint of insult. The Company prohibits conversations regarding the honor and dignity of other employees, wages, benefits and privileges, unless it is a job-related necessity.

Finding the best solution often involves conflicts or disputes. Company employees must strive to prevent and avoid conflict situations.

Only constructive conflicts related to specific production issues or working moments and only when it is impossible to resolve the contradiction in another way are allowed in the Company. The main feature of a constructive professional conflict is that it never becomes personal. A dispute can be fought over disagreements in decisions, not over mutual personal grievances, and only in a correct manner.

If the conflict cannot be resolved by the efforts of the two conflicting parties, it must be resolved through the intervention of a third party. The immediate superior of the conflicting parties may serve as the third party. In this case, once the third party has made a decision, the conflict is considered to be over and both parties are obliged to comply with the decision. The direct supervisor must comply with the principle of clientelism when intervening in a conflict situation.

The main priority of the Company is the Clients and Customers of the products, their needs and problems. In order to support and strengthen mutually beneficial, fruitful cooperation, the Company's employees should promptly respond to the needs and requests of changing Customers and Clients and continuously improve the quality of their service.

Employees, regardless of their position and functions, should strictly abide by such rules in their relations with the Company's Customers:

welcoming and escorting the Customer with a friendly smile, being polite and courteous in communication, providing the necessary assistance to the Customer, showing interest in solving those of their problems related to the services provided by the Company;

demonstrate readiness to communicate with the Client. Respect the personality and interests of the Company's clients, be honest and punctual in fulfilling their obligations. >Prefer to the time and resources of the Client and do not tolerate delays in resolving issues;

valuing their reputation and dignity, employees should avoid personal moral dependence on Clients, as well as undertaking obligations beyond their competence and authority;

give feedback and respond to Client requests in a timely manner.
