Page 2 - The Leadership Line: The MIL Pledge

The MIL Pledge

We ask that all employees endorse, embrace, and embody the MIL Pledge, built
on our corporate values and the following three tenets:

I respect my colleagues.

» I respect my colleagues who differ by gender, race, religion, culture, national origin, mental and
physical abilities, and will interact with them under the highest standards of professional conduct.
» I understand that every member of the MIL family makes important contributions, regardless of job,
role, or title.
» I recognize and celebrate our diverse community and will work to broaden my knowledge of the
cultures that represent the MIL family.
» I know that MIL empathizes with all people - empathy is the root of kindness, compassion, under-
standing, and respect.

I communicate effectively.

» I conduct myself professionally in all verbal and written (e.g., email) communications.
» I refrain from negativity and seek to find solutions to challenges.

» I recognize that body language and tone are important parts of communication.
» I am available during business hours and respond promptly to all inquiries.

I have a sense of ownership.

» I continue to learn and seek new knowledge to enhance my skills.
» I strive to maintain personal well-being and strive for work-life balance.
» I contribute to my work group in positive ways through constructive feedback and continuously
support the efforts of others.
» I am receptive to feedback provided by my peers to benefit the firm.

“There is no greater

fraud than a promise
(pledge) not kept.”
