USP has emphasized linking HR with business objective and uses communication and intranet programs to ensure that employees are kept constantly informed on business objectives and workforce challenges. One well-recognized component at UPS is the established codes of conduct that are consistently reviewed with all employees.These reviews include specific examples of ethical situations that employees may face and how to respond to them. Annually, managers complete a "conduct code" report that asks specific questions about ethical problems that have arisen during the year.
