Client Values

Code of Conduct and Business Practices
Nationwide (NW) Code of Conduct and Business Practices (available for review at
www.nationwide.com, search “Code of Conduct”) reflects commitment to act with
integrity every day. Good judgment and the desire to do what is right are the foundation
of the Nationwide's reputation. Client’ success depends on trust and honesty. In a
business that is built on promises, these values are very important. Client expects
Temporary Staff to adhere to the standards of behavior described in the Code of
Conduct and Business Practices.

Guidelines:
 Any Temporary Staff will be responsible for acting with integrity and
maintaining a work environment that supports ethical business practices every
day.
 All Temporary Staff shall comply with all laws, rules, and legal regulations.
 No Temporary Staff may use another contractor, consultant, agent, broker, or
other third party to do anything prohibited by company policy.

Always Do the Right Thing
Ethical business conduct is not always cut and dry. It can be extremely difficult to
determine the best course of action when you have more than one option. Although
something may be legal, it still may not be the right thing to do. When you run into a
situation where the best decision isn’t clear, test your potential decisions by asking the
following questions:

 Is it legal?
 Could my action give the impression or be interpreted as being inappropriate or
unethical?
 Does my action fit with the Values, Code of Conduct and Client Business
Practices?

Nationwide expects Temporary Staff to report suspected internal fraud to the Office of
Ethics and Business Practices at 800-453-8442. Callers may remain anonymous and no
