How We Treat One Another
Inclusify.com promotes equal opportunity in its hiring practices, makes recruiting decisions based solely on job-related criteria and does not use forced labor. When employing Inclusifyers under the age of 18, managers must comply with all Inclusify-established or legally required limitations on minimum hiring age, and on hours and tasks performed by these Inclusifyers to ensure any work performed does not hamper the Inclusifyer’s education, health, safety, and mental or physical development.
All Inclusifyers are entitled to work in an environment that is free of harassment, bullying and discrimination. Harassment, bullying and discrimination take many forms, including:
- Unwelcome remarks, gestures or physical contact
- The display or circulation of offensive, derogatory or sexually explicit pictures or other materials, including by email and on the Internet
- Offensive or derogatory jokes or comments (explicit or by innuendo)
- Verbal or physical abuse or threats
Anti-Retaliation Policy

Compliance with Laws, Rules and Regulations
It’s very simple: We respect and obey the law, in letter and in spirit. Always. This goes for all laws of the cities, states and countries where we operate.
Full, Fair, Accurate, Timely and Understandable Disclosure
The information in Inclusify’s public communications must be full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable. This includes all reports and documents that we file with or submit to regulatory bodies. You should be familiar with Inclusify’s disclosure obligations related to your position. You cannot knowingly misrepresent or omit (or cause others to do the same) material facts about Inclusify to others, especially auditors, government regulators and self-regulatory organizations.
Conflicts of Interest
We’re all humans here, which means at times you may face conflicting loyalties between personal or professional benefits for you, your friends or family, and Inclusify. This is where a conflict of interest may pop up, where your private interests compete or even appear to compete with Inclusify’s interests. This can make it tricky to make objective business decisions. Situations like this can turn up at any time and you may not even recognize them at first.
In general, you must avoid situations that create a real or perceived conflict of interest between you and Inclusify at all times. Create and maintain an inclusive work environment in which all of our employees are treated with dignity, decency and respect. Everyone has the right to feel included and valued here, and allowed to bring their very best to the mix. The vibe of our work environment is made up of how each and every one of us acts and speaks every day. We are all responsible for it. In short, we make each other feel welcome and included.
