“A conflict of interest may exist when SCEPI staff or a Board Member: 1. Is in a position to materially benefit, directly or indirectly, by using their authority or inside information; 2. Allows an employer, friend, relative or associate to benefit from such authority or information; 3. Uses their authority or information to intentionally and adversely affect SCEPI. Therefore, SCEPI staff and Board Members shall: 1. Conduct all Board and entity business so that all those affected are assured that governance decisions are made in the best interests of SCEPI and the individuals served by it. 2. Accept no gifts or benefits offered which could influence a Board decision or could reasonably be so perceived. 3. Disclose to the appropriate party any direct or indirect financial or personal interest that might pose perceived or potential conflicts of interest. 4. Assess and report annually on the status of potential conflicts of interest. 5. Ensure that processes exist to identify and report management conflicts of interest. SCEPI employees, agents or representatives are encouraged to disclose any perceived breaches of this Code of Ethics. Disclosure should be made to a supervisor, the Chief Economic Development Officer, a member of the Executive Committee or the Board of Directors. The SCEPI Board of Directors will investigate all perceived breaches immediately. Individuals voicing such complaints will be assured of a confidential, thorough and impartial investigation. Management is prohibited from taking adverse action against the person filing the complaint. Employees, agents or representatives who are found to be in violation of the rights of others and/or the ethical standards of SCEPI may be subject to immediate discipline (see: 5. POLICIES Section H. Discipline). These confidential relationships include, but are in no way limited to: 1. Any local businesses or industries that the staff is assisting. 2. Any person or organization providing confidential or financial data to the staff for exclusive use. 3. Any new business/industry prospect, which the staff has attracted to investigate a location in Shawano County. 4. Any businesses or industry referred to the staff by any governmental unit or other agency. 5. The protection of confidentiality of any other agencies, business matters or activities, which, in the professional judgment of the Chief Economic Development Officer, require confidence on his/her part, or that of his/her staff.”

“Supervisors and employees are strongly encouraged to discuss job performance and goals on an informal, day-to-day basis. A formal written evaluation may be conducted at the end of an employee's introductory period of hire. Additional formal performance evaluations may be conducted to provide both supervisors and employees the opportunity to discuss job tasks, identify and correct weaknesses, encourage and recognize strengths, and discuss positive, purposeful and reasonable approaches for meeting goals. Performance evaluations may be scheduled near year-end or at any other times set by Department Managers. Evaluations may also follow within 90 days of a promotion.”
