Code of Ethic

Our code of ethics formalizes all intra-company relationships from leadership to employees at the lowest level of management. It refers to relationships with current, as well as potential clients, employees, suppliers and other business partners. The principles and values of the code of ethics have been created to reflect the real situation of working atmosphere within the company. That may be one reason why our code of ethics differs from the conventional way. It refers to four key areas.

Expertise, Qualification and Vision of our People

Constant improvement is not an obligation at Soitron, but a way of life. We always want to know more and be the best. Our company strives to support the knowledge base of our employees through perpetual and wide-reaching training, thereby facilitating the further growth of talent within the firm. Professional growth, high qualification, competence, breadth of views and solid technological engagement are the pillars of our development that enable us to realize the visions of our clients, and inspire our business partners and employees to aspire themselves. People are our most valuable asset. We provide stimulating environment where everyone can obtain the most up-to-date information that is essential for continuous growth. Our employees constantly increase their qualification and knowledge by following the most recent development in their fields. They always search for new opportunities and different ways to solve problems. Trendsetters by nature, our employees prefer an open and creative approach. As a result, they are justifiably considered as experts in their respective fields.

Technologically Sophisticated Solutions

We deliver solutions that make maximal use of current knowledge, broaden horizons and enrich the client in new ways. Exceeding expectations requires competence, flexibility and creative spirit. We develop projects with an open mind, and we are flexible to fulfill our client’s wishes. Looking forward, our solutions reflect excellence in every way while discovering new opportunities and moving forward. Our solutions are ahead of our time. We dismiss groupthink, inefficient solutions and individual backwardness. We do focus, however, on innovative, simple, yet maximally efficient solutions based on creative team interaction. Our solutions are derived from rich technological background, international experience gained on large projects, local know-how and global partnerships (Cisco, HP, Microsoft, Avaya, IBM, etc.).

Unusual, Unorthodox Solutions

Fair cooperation among partners and commitment to business partners, as well as colleagues are the essence of our success. Team spirit can be felt as in our work, so in our relationships with clients and fellow colleagues. We nurture relationships with our clients because we want to build lasting partnerships. We strive to make processes as little formal as possible, thereby enhancing the notion of “friendship” between our clients and us. We can accommodate our clients’ needs because we always listen and try to understand the problem at issue. Responsibility, reliability, trust and openness are the foundations of our teamwork. To deliver, we often put in long hours. We always try to make our customer not only a good client, supplier, or business partner, but a true friend. Our employees enjoy their work.

 

Their motivation to achieve the best results while trying to solve all problems from the scratch serves as a prerequisite for functional multilateral communication with our partners. We attempt to understand processes within a deeper context so as to appreciate the very substance of a problem. We prefer relaxed and natural working environment to bureaucracy and formality. Brainstorming is a popular problem-solving tool within our team. We focus on high quality long-term cooperation rather than short-sighted business. Our outputs are perfectly clear and understandable. When dealing with us, the client never comes across unconvincing and fuzzy results. Living by the motto “Do more for less”, we try to follow processes that are carefully customized and strictly conformed. The quality of our services is reflected in customer appreciation, which in turn translates into doing more business together in the future.

People Meet Halfway

We care about our employees, friendly atmosphere and good internal social environment within the firm. We have a sense of teamwork, we support open communication based on fair play and constructive feedback. Flexibility, empathy, discreetness, adaptability, and willingness to help and leave no one behind are the traits we value most among our people. We consider the dialogue within the firm of utmost importance. We have coined the “Stand up & speak up” philosophy, and we encourage the open door policy. With clear and transparent rules, where everyone has an equal opportunity to openly communicate his/her ideas, we all can contribute to our company’s future. In return, we expect mutual respect among all members of the company and personal responsibility for achieving the set results. We believe it is important to contribute to satisfied personal and family lives of our employees. Precisely for this reason, the support of families and family-oriented events are our priorities.

 

The logic is simple: only a happy and balanced person makes a satisfied employee. We often meet outside work. Simply put, we are friends at work as well as at our spare time. Following the motto “We are people”, we prefer natural behavior, casual dress code, smile and relaxed style to conventionality, suit and tie. Not the cramped stiffness of personality, but the sport spirit. Interests and hobbies of our employees go beyond IT. They are no strangers to the great outdoors, sports or art, and the company strives to encourage them in their pursuits. Principles such as flexible working hours, home-based office, no smoking in the premises, waste recycling, and paper (tree) saving are a matter of course for us. This code of ethics is not a company bylaw that must be obeyed. It is rather a set of internal recommendations intended to provide some guidance as to how we need to treat one another, as well as subjects outside the firm.
