Bio-Me Rewarded for Ethical Values
Palo Alto, California, April 4, 2020: The Bio-Me company has been named one of the “World’s Most Ethical Companies” of 2020 as announced by the Ethisphere Institute, a global leader in evolving ethical business practices, while perpetuating financial success. Companies were judged on their ability to promote ethical standards, to encourage employees to make good choices, and to shape the future of corporate sustainability. Bio-Me will receive a $5,000 reward, helping them to continue sustainable and ethical business practices.
After initiating a new Human Resources plan in 2018, Bio-Me has taken strides towards Corporate Social Responsibility. Bio-Me strives to do good business by generating accurate and expansive information for consumers, ensuring all staff and databases maintain the confidentiality of user data, and guaranteeing a culturally diverse and inclusive workplace environment for all staff.
This HR policy requires all original documents to be made available to consumers, verifying the authenticity and accuracy of information. Bio-Me has also added an option to report a document if users believe the information is incorrect. We have hired staff to research every report that is made, improving our relationship with the consumers. In addition, we have strengthened our database security and updated our Privacy Policy. Now users can make their family tree private, whereas all paying members could previously access anyone’s lineage.
Prior to this initiative, Bio-Me’s staff was 74% white and male. Since this new HR policy, Bio-Me is now a more diversified and welcoming environment for all people. Bio-Me also implemented a Non-Discrimination and Harassment Policy, ensuring that no employee should be given unfair treatment or terminated based on their race, gender identity, age, national origin, religion, disability, or sexual orientation.
After implementing the new HR policy in 2018, 82% of consumers have indicated that their satisfaction with the company has increased, and 91% of employees feel that Bio-Me is now more inclusive, innovative, and productive.
