How we behave

Getting it right—Behavior

We value diversity, inclusion, and equity.

At LRN, our people are our most precious asset. They make us who we are and how the world sees us. The more diverse, inclusive, and equitable we are, the more successful we will be as a company. We value the backgrounds and experiences of all of our people, and we take concrete steps to ensure we have diversity, inclusion, and equity throughout our company—at all levels, in all functions, and in all geographical locations.

We treat each other with dignity and respect.

We believe everyone is entitled to be treated with dignity and respect and to work in a supportive environment free from any forms of harassment and bullying. As an ethics and compliance company, each of us is expected to be a role model in how we treat each other at LRN.

We have zero tolerance for harassment and discrimination. We know that diversity of ethnicity, gender, race, religion, disability, nationality, and sexual orientation makes our workplace better. Discrimination or harassment of any colleague based on these characteristics, seen or unseen, is not tolerated. When we are subjected to, or are witnesses to, unacceptable behavior, we stand up for ourselves and for others, speak up, and report the incident to the People & Culture team.

We avoid conflicts of interest.

While we are at work, we are expected to put LRN’s and our clients’ interests before our own personal gain. Doing this helps us make smart, unbiased decisions that will benefit our business.

We don’t solicit or accept gifts in connection with company business. Even the appearance of a conflict of interest can leave others thinking we are acting improperly. If you believe you may have an actual, potential, or apparent conflict of interest, please discuss it with a trusted member of the Leadership Team.

We protect LRN’s financial, information, and physical assets.

Our assets are the building blocks for our future, helping us better serve and create value for our clients. We treat LRN’s assets as if they are our own. We do everything we can to protect our assets from loss, damage, waste, and improper use.

Moment of Truth

Protecting our assets comes in many forms. While there are physical assets to be protected at our office locations, each and every colleague has a role in ensuring asset protection from wherever they work. Each of us can contribute by:

  • Ensuring security
    Carrying our key cards to ensure security in our physical offices. Don’t let in anyone who doesn’t have a key card and direct all scheduled visitors to the front desk.
  • Communication
    Letting the appropriate parties know if a security mechanism is not functioning so it can be fixed.
  • Security updates
    Updating security systems on our computers as soon as possible when corporate IT reaches out so that we can ensure company cybersecurity.
  • Using the LRN VPN
    Using the LRN VPN (Virtual Private Network) when working remotely.
  • Caring for equipment
    Taking care of equipment and backing it up regularly, using the approved systems from corporate IT.
