CAREFUL COMMUNICATIONS

Before you send an email or post a comment, ask yourself:

What is the purpose?

Would I want this to be evidence in a lawsuit or published in a newspaper?

Is there another means of communicating?

Am I being respectful?

Would I say the same thing if I were speaking face-to-face to someone?

Could my actions harm Aptiv?

Any company department may unexpectedly find itself the target of public scrutiny. Marketing and sales employees can be subject to antitrust investigations or lawsuits, for example. Employees in the finance department can face scrutiny of financial records. It is impossible to predict whether a communication will become important at a later time. The best course of action is to prepare all communications carefully and with integrity.
