relational,
00:00:07
deontological charters,
00:00:10
charter of Values or courtesy charters.
00:00:13
They have gradually developed over the last 10 years in the corporate world.
00:00:18
Similar to a code of good conduct,
00:00:20
these charters complement the company rules
00:00:23
included in the internal regulations.
00:00:26
Let's discover in this video which forms these charters can take,
00:00:30
what their legal values are,
00:00:32
and how to implement them.
00:00:34
What is a relationship charter?
00:00:37
It would seem that internal regulations with mandatory clauses such as security,
00:00:43
discipline,
00:00:43
etc.
00:00:44
are no longer enough for the company.
00:00:47
The rules laid down in them protect and supervise employees,
00:00:51
but do not go much further into the notion of harmony and living world together,
00:00:56
hence the need to draw up relationship charters.
00:01:00
Today,
00:01:01
charters are flourishing in companies to the point.
00:01:04
That the relationship charter can be confused with or included in
00:01:09
social or ethical charters.
00:01:11
For example,
00:01:13
some companies have an ethical charter on harassment
00:01:17
in which the possible avenues of recourse for employees
00:01:20
in the event of a complaint are described.
00:01:23
Within the framework of CSR corporate social responsibility,
00:01:28
some charters are signed by the company committing itself,
00:01:32
for example,
00:01:34
to transparent recruitment,
00:01:35
recognition of performance,
00:01:37
refusal of discrimination,
00:01:39
and protection of personal information.
00:01:42
These points will of course influence employee behavior
00:01:46
whether or not they are written in the form of a code of conduct.
00:01:50
The pure relationship charter
00:01:53
includes rules of behavior,
00:01:55
ethics,
00:01:56
and moral values that can sometimes be as simple
00:01:58
as saying hello or thank you to your peers.
00:02:02
They sometimes cover broader areas than just interpersonal relations,
00:02:08
such as rules for the use of IT equipment,
00:02:11
environmental respect,
00:02:12
sustainable development,
00:02:14
and quality.
00:02:15
If the company has defined a set of values,
00:02:18
its charter will certainly set out the expected behavior.
00:02:22
What is the legal basis for the relationship charter?
00:02:26
It should be noted that there is no legislation on the charter.
00:02:30
It is not mandatory.
00:02:31
It is freely at the initiative of companies,
00:02:34
and its content is just as free
00:02:37
as long as it respects the law.
00:02:40
However,
00:02:42
companies are increasingly relying on these
00:02:44
charters to sanction certain employee behavior.
00:02:48
They invoke lack of respect for the charter as grounds for dismissal.
00:02:53
Beware,
00:02:54
therefore,
00:02:54
of abuse and misuse of charters.
00:02:58
How to implement the relationship charter.
00:03:01
The best way to ensure compliance with the rules of conduct,
00:03:05
ethics,
00:03:05
and moral values is to invoke employees in drafting the charter.
00:03:11
Consultation with employee representatives is not
00:03:14
mandatory but is strongly recommended.
00:03:17
I invite you to be clear,
00:03:19
concrete,
00:03:20
and practical in the behavior described.
00:03:23
Use action verbs as much as possible.
00:03:26
Keep the presentation simple and easy to read.
00:03:30
Here are a few examples of rules of conduct.
00:03:34
Share known information with colleagues.
00:03:37
Be punctual at your workstation,
00:03:39
meetings and appointments.
00:03:41
Respect others in their work and their values.
00:03:44
Accept the differences of each one,
00:03:46
etc.
00:03:48
To these courtesy rules we can add other rules such as
00:03:52
disconnecting from emails in meetings,
00:03:55
being attentive when writing emails to avoid being rude or overly bossy,
00:04:00
not soliciting employees on vacation or sick leave,
00:04:04
taking all your days off.
00:04:06
No meeting before 9 a.m. or after 6 p.m.
00:04:11
Inviting only the concerned people to the meetings.
00:04:15
Google will add rules like don't have meetings with more than 8 people.
00:04:21
Of course,
00:04:22
the publication of the charter is essential.
00:04:25
Post it in accessible places,
00:04:27
places where the customer and the supplier can see it too,
00:04:31
for example,
00:04:32
make it available on the internet.
00:04:34
Mention it at meetings.
00:04:36
Regularly write an article in the newspaper
00:04:38
giving meaning and examples to certain points.
00:04:42
You could also suggest that everyone sign the charter during
00:04:46
the annual individual interview or upon arrival in the company.
00:04:52
The relational ethical courtesy charter or the code of good conduct
00:04:56
are tools for internal cohesion,
00:04:59
allowing agreement on the objectives,
00:05:02
rights,
00:05:02
and duties of all.
00:05:05
The charter,
00:05:06
if it has not been misused for disciplinary purposes,
00:05:09
can thus restore human relations to a central place in the company
00:05:15
and improve well-being at work.
00:05:19
To go further in the direction of well-being in the workplace,
00:05:23
an anecdote.
00:05:24
One of my contacts sent me a document he found
00:05:27
on his desk on his first day at Renault Nissan.
00:05:31
The document was entitled You Have the right to.
00:05:35
Here are a few examples of rights that were noted on his welcome sheet.
00:05:40
You have the right to say,
00:05:42
I don't know.
00:05:43
You have the right to introduce yourself.
00:05:46
You have the right to ask for help,
00:05:48
to make mistakes,
00:05:49
to say no if you're too busy,
00:05:52
not to check your emails every hour,
00:05:54
to give your opinion,
00:05:56
to say yes to a coffee,
00:05:57
etc.
00:05:58
Interesting that the company goes beyond the writing of
00:06:03
lists of duties to propose a list of rights,
00:06:05
list of rights to be included in the charters.
00:06:09
Responsible companies spend a lot of time and energy training their
00:06:14
employees in the basic rules of healthy and productive collaboration.
00:06:19
Frederic Laloux
00:06:20
in his book Reinventing Organizations
00:06:23
gives us examples of companies that have adopted relationship charters,
00:06:29
some of which go as far as to detail the expected attitude in a conflict.
00:06:34
Here is an example with the company RHD,
00:06:38
a company with 4000 employees that offers personal services.
00:06:42
RHD has adopted a charter of rights
00:06:45
and responsibilities for employees and clients.
00:06:48
Here is an excerpt about the conflict.
00:06:51
If conflict and disputes or disagreements are natural explosive displays or
00:06:57
hostile expressions of any kind are not acceptable at RHD.
00:07:02
As a member of RHD,
00:07:03
it is important that you are able to do two things
00:07:07
one,
00:07:08
to distance yourself from your need to be right
00:07:11
so that you can hear and respect the truth of others and their point of view.
00:07:17
Two,
00:07:17
distinguish between your thoughts,
00:07:19
what's going on in your head,
00:07:21
and your behavior,
00:07:22
what you do or say.
00:07:24
The charter then details precisely 5 unacceptable ways to express hostility.
00:07:31
Degrading words and behavior,
00:07:33
indirect negative messages,
00:07:36
threat or abandonment,
00:07:37
negation of the reality of the other person,
00:07:40
intimidation explosion.
00:07:42
To conclude,
00:07:44
these relational charters attempt to provide
00:07:47
a protective and productive work environment.
00:07:50
They define what healthy relationships are at work
00:07:54
and everything leads us to believe that they will develop more
00:07:58
and more in the years to come on paper first,
00:08:02
then
00:08:03
in
00:08:03
action.
