Additionally, it is a policy at BNP, Inc. that all communication, written and verbal, be open, honest and respectful between all employees, vendors, and clients. Any communications that are more “challenging” should be verbal rather than written, using a supervisor or HR as a third party mediator if necessary. This is an essential part of how we operate on a daily basis, and a crucial element in how we approach conflict resolution. Success in production is often measured by the extreme nature of the difficulties overcome. Demanding physical requirements of the program are part of the real world experience of the industry. As a company, we will strive to make the nature of the production business the best that we can be, but we expect each and every person to step up to the challenge, to be ready, willing and able.
