It’s about creating work experiences that meet everyone’s needs and providing flexibility to adjust when, where and how we work to meet the expectations of our role.

It reflects their shared values and commitments and includes guiding principles to help them make ethical decisions and maintain trust with each other, their clients, and the public.
