Reizer Ethical Guidebook: The Path to Sustainable Success

“We expect every Reizer to take Leadership into their own hands whether it is a Project they are part of, joining a Community of Practice, organizing an Academy, leading a career path, or simply organizing volleyball, badminton, Go-kart with your colleagues – You are the leader of your career, job, and life. You are the only one responsible for it.” – Monika S., Head of Operations 

We are all heartened to make ethical choices and employ ethics in all areas of our lives. But what does ethics mean, and how important it is for REIZ TECH? 

Reiz Tech and its Ethics Committee recently announced the release of the Reizer Ethical Guidebook which defined Reiz Tech as a more human-centric, ethically resilient, innovative, and culturally authentic organization. The Code of Ethical Conduct is not an algorithm for solving ethical problems but serves as a basis for remediation when violations occur.

Ethics in a Nutshell 

The word “ethics” is connected fundamentally with questions of right conduct within humanity. "Ethics” comes from the Greek “ethos” meaning “character” which designates a concern for moral people, dependable character, and proper demeanor. Ethics is best perceived as something we “do,” a form of ongoing analysis into applied efforts.  

We can think of ethics as the philosophies that pilot our behavior to make the best choices that contribute to the mutual benefit of all. Ethics is to tell the truth, keep our pledges or help someone in need. There is a structure of ethics underlying our lives daily, helping us make choices that generate positive impacts and steering us away from unwarranted after-effects. Ethics makes the world a better place through the decisions we make. 

Ethics in business is just as important as ethics in our daily lives. The Ethics Committee and its leaders have a distinctive role and a huge responsibility in shaping the ethical culture of Reiz Tech and thus influence their wider areas, such as Reizers. 

Ethics and our Responsibility 

“To know, follow, act accordingly, and spread the message about our ethical principles.” As mentioned by Monika Kvietkienė, our Key Account Manager that she accentuated duties and obligations which relate to all Reizers concerning the guidebook. As such, all research involving Reizers will be reviewed by the Ethics Committee to ensure that the proper ethical standards are upheld. Ethical principles of goodwill, justice, and autonomy are at the heart of the ethical review. Monika summarized that you need to "think about how it works in your work environment, review situations how you could behave according to ethical principles. In sensitive situations first think before acting." 

Ethics and our responsibility can be practiced in big or small ways each day. You are not only contributing to the common good, but you also engage with society in meaningful ways, build morale among employees, and create positive regard for Reiz Tech. 

Ethics is a Lifestyle 

Ethics weigh our decisions and our actions, from our personal lives to our careers. We are all part of an intersected universal group. Our influences on the common good, no matter how small or how big, can have an enduring impact. Selecting an ethical lifestyle will confirm our impact is optimistic. Ethics Committee and its Leaders have an exceptional prospect to form and guide the ethical culture of the Reiz Tech workplace and among their stakeholders. Even bringing ethics into your business mindset will aid method situations more ethically.  

Ethics Committee and the Reizers’ Expectations 

The Ethics Committee is in support of the employees and gives some advice they need to act according to Reiz Tech’s ethical principles. Appointed as an Ethic Committee, Monika S., Head of Operations believed that the committee must act as a resource, supplying the information, tools, and strategies to aid employees in making ethical business decisions and she added that “Becoming part of the Reiz community means you are expected to take leadership of your actions, steer your career path, and treat autonomy and freedom given at Reiz Tech to create, as a great responsibility. So, if you have joined the project and you are missing training, information, tools, or anything that would help you to boost your performance, all you must do is speak up and raise questions. If you are part of a project where you believe an already prepared solution could be done in a better way everyone is expected to contribute, leadership is not within the assigned role description, but within your actions and attitude towards your goals and results. Leadership might not necessarily be in your job description – leadership is a lifestyle.” 

Feedback Culture and its Role in Ethics 

Ethics Committee, Reizers, and its speakers and listeners can supply quality feedback to others. Feedback-friendly cultures tend to enrich transparency and create a norm of behavior where individuals feel free to speak out. More outstandingly, employees in pro-feedback environments are far more prospective to raise a red flag when they see unethical behavior. As explained by Monika S., Head of Operations, “Feedback is a vital part of our culture as this is the best way, we can genuinely help each other grow. Remember that by supplying feedback a colleague is genuinely willing to help improve the situation and not criticize the person. Feedback should be shared despite the role in the organization if we can do better as professionals, colleagues, projects, and organizations – share feedback if you genuinely saw the point of improvement. Reizers are expected to ask for feedback and ask for it often as part of their professional development. Just as important it is to accept the provided feedback, by listening attentively, appreciating a colleague dedicating time and energy to help you improve.” 

Learning Culture and Knowledge Sharing impact Reizers 

Learning Culture and Knowledge Sharing are distinguished as critical factors in the rising employee, team, and organizational output and creativity. “Learning Culture and Knowledge Sharing is a principle that can be sensed in all “corners” of our everyday life at Reiz. We expect that each Reizer will be curious, and will continuously look for, share, and apply new skills. Set your development goals and follow through by dedicating time and energy to learning activities. Share the knowledge gained with your colleagues and share the best knowledge sources. Learning and Knowledge sharing can happen through traditional Reiz ways such as Community of Practice, Academies, Boot Camps, Knowledge sharing sessions also through simply joining various projects and simply being adventurous to join interesting challenging projects” as explained by Monika S., Head of Operations that if people begin sharing ideas about issues and ethics they see as essential, the sharing itself crafts a learning culture. 

Diversity and Inclusivity and it is a part of the Ethics Guidebook 

Diversity and inclusion are core components of Reiz’s ethical framework. Reiz Tech cares and continually focuses on policies, initiatives, and training to improve its diversity practices. “At Reiz Tech, we have colleagues from 20 different countries. Therefore, we must educate ourselves about diverse cultures and social groups. That we are respectful towards diverse cultures, skin, races, gender, sexual preferences, ethnicity, experiences, and different controversial ideas. Diversity and Inclusionare key to being part of a well-functioning dynamic global community” as uttered by Monika S., Head of Operations 

More Attributes in the Guidebook 

Being Honest and Trustworthy in the Reiz community means that sometimes we might speak the truth even if it is unpleasant and confronting. “We learn from our mistakes, we own them, take action to improve and this grows together as a Team. The best solution and ideas often come from challenging conversations; we can always come better on the other side.” Monika S., Head of Operationsadded, “It is expected that each Reizer will be familiar with our process, and if any process is unclear simply reaches out to colleagues of yours to clarify the process. Each Reizer is responsible for the process and policies and to follow the updates and changes during the Reiz Stand-up and communication changes. We are creating the community therefore every Reizer can contribute to changes in the processes and improvement – You can be the change! We are constantly changing therefore dynamics, change, and growth is part of our DNA.” 

“Lastly, we should strive to be the best version of ourselves, someone others will look up to. Do active members of Reiz communicate, be engaged, connected, and committed. Lead by example and be the leader you want to be. Each Reizer is part of our culture, and it is the people that create the culture we want to be part of. Be the best example by celebrating diversity, recognizing, and listening to team members, and taking diligent care of yourself and others in our community. We represent our brand and culture outside Reiz Tech as well as inside, but we firstly represent ourselves.” 

The Path to Sustainable Success 

Reizers can work from anywhere. We are a global community, so we have the freedom to choose where we work. “Whether we decide to meet and work with our colleagues from North Macedonia or enjoy the sunny virtual meetings in Bali – Our choice. This however also means that with the freedom to move and work from everywhere we still have a responsibility to deliver services to the highest quality, striving to be the best experts according to the role, and level of qualification, delivering to the deadlines, and continue providing More Than a Service. Though we believe that when people are given the freedom, their horizons expand, a creativity boost and Reizer can provide even better results.” as excitedly upheld by Monika S., Head of Operations 

Reiz’s ambition, competitiveness, and market savvy are significant characteristics for success and are always guided by a strong inner core of Reizers’ ethical principles. In achieving continuous sustainable success, Reizer always makes ethically sound decisions regarding job performance and personal behavior even when no one is watching.  

Reiz Tech aims to help promote a benevolent environment in which ethical behavior is encouraged and nurtured. Reizers are committed to personal and organizational excellence which offers a path to lasting, sustainable success.
