As reported by HRI, driven by companies looking to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley and by a growing conviction that encouraging whistleblowers is good for business, a small industry has sprouted for organizations that create software and that offer other services which make it easy for employees to report possible wrongdoing. A report in Inc. Magazine says that companies of all sizes are buying the software and that more and more private organizations, which are not covered by Sarbanes-Oxley, are also buying the software. The goal is to head off problems before they start by using employees "as an early-warning system," according to the magazine. One problem some companies discover is the plethora of complaints they receive. Fios, a Portland, OR, company that inspects computer equipment for information pertaining to lawsuits, installed one of the systems in 2004 and was swamped. Of the 30 suggestions in the first 18 months, only two […]

Accessorial (Additional) Services - services such as packing, unpacking, or shuttle service that you request to be performed (or are necessary because of landlord requirements or other special circumstances). Charges for these services are in addition to the transportation charges.
Advanced Charges - charges for services not performed by the mover but instead by a professional, craftsman or other third party at your request. The charges for these services are paid for by the mover and added to your bill of lading charges.
Bill of Lading - the receipt for your goods and the contract for their transportation. It is your responsibility to understand the bill of lading before you sign it. If you do not agree with something on the bill of lading, do not sign it until you are satisfied that it is correct. The bill of lading is an important document. Don’t lose or misplace your copy.
Binding/Non-Binding Estimate - […]

As reported by HRI: An ethical corporate culture is good for the bottom line, according to a DePaul University study cited by ISR in its 2005 white paper Predicting and Preventing Unethical Behavior: Fixing Problems Before They Happen. ISR said the DePaul study showed that companies with a strong, public commitment to ethics had a higher market value when compared with organizations that adopted an ethics code and did nothing else and with corporations that had no ethics policy. Those with a public commitment to ethics had an added market value of $10.6 billion. Companies that had adopted an ethics code and did nothing else had an added market value of $8.1 billion. Those organizations that had no code had the lowest added market value - $3.24 billion. Another benefit of actively promoting good conduct is to produce more highly motivated and productive employees who are more likely to remain […]
