Our understanding of compliance
In this context, it is essential that Hays as a whole and its employees comply with applicable laws and rules and adhere to voluntary commitments at all times.
Hays takes a clear stance against corruption and bribery and requires both its employees and its business partners to always act in conformity with the law. This fundamental requirement is also outlined in the company’s binding code of conduct.
In this way, Hays supports its employees in acting in a legally compliant way and reduces possible legal and economic risks.
Considering compliance a management responsibility and a joint task of all persons involved, Hays has the ambition to continuously develop its compliance culture.
Compliance Management System
Based on a collection of company-specific legal provisions, Hays carries out annual risk analyses in cooperation with the specialist departments. This enables a regular assessment of potential risks in consideration of current developments.
Moreover, comprehensible internal company guidelines have been developed in order to support the employees in their daily work in a clear and transparent manner.
Along with structural and technical verification mechanisms and a clearly structured incident management system, the CMS of Hays ensures that the above-mentioned objectives are achieved. In addition, regular training and the provision of an effective whistleblower system contribute to further raising the employees’ awareness for the compliance philosophy of Hays.
Detect, React, Protect
In order to be informed of possible or suspected misconduct, Hays Germany has established a whistleblower system enabling employees as well as outsiders to contact the company's compliance organisation. This enables Hays to detect legal infringements in good time and to react to them appropriately in order to avoid damage to the company as a whole and to its employees, customers and business partners.
