       Description:
Freddie Mac was chartered by Congress in 1970 with a public mission to stabilize the nation's
residential mortgage markets and expand opportunities for homeownership and affordable rental
housing. Their statutory mission is to provide liquidity, stability and affordability to the U.S.
housing market.
They participate in the secondary mortgage market by purchasing mortgage loans and mortgage-
related securities for investment and by issuing guaranteed mortgage-related securities, principally
those we call PCs. The secondary mortgage market consists of institutions engaged in buying and
selling mortgages in the form of whole loans (i.e., mortgages that have not been securitized) and
mortgage-related securities. They do not lend money directly to homeowners

       HR Practices                               Description
Believing in the success of people        The HR Principles of Freddie Mac were developed in
                                          1997 from discussions with thousands of staff on
                                          what they thought Freddie Mac stood for, and what
                                          they wanted the business to be. Ten years later,
                                          Freddie’s staffs have refreshed the Values to reflect
                                          the business today and how they wanted to work in
                                          the future.

                                          ethnic origin or political beliefs.
Flexing working roles in the company      They also try and make sure everyone can work in a

                                          working, offering part-time roles and encouraging
                                          job-sharing opportunities and shift swapping if this is
                                          possible.

Values At Teamwork                        The group believes in the philosophy that treat people
                                          how we like to be treated:
                                           A) Work as a team’s) Trust and respect each other. c)
                                          Listen, support and say thank you. D) Share
                                          knowledge and experience.

Potential                                 are more likely to go that extra mile to help our

                                      provide employees with an environment in which
                                      people can work with peace of mind, in order to build
                                      business For this reason, the company has focused its
                                      efforts on raising the standard of living for its
                                      employees at different locations.
Respecting the Employees              The group’s philosophy of “respect for employees
                                      “originates with this initiative. Striving to create an

                                      families, built a town that offered not only housing but
                                      also schools for children, hospitals, railroads, as well
                                      as recreational facilities. At the same time, a spirit of
                                      “respect for employees” was nurtured, which has
                                      subsequently been passed down to the current group.
                                      This spirit of “respect for employees “has also
                                      influenced its business activities, subsequently
                                      bringing free and vigorous discussions and flexible

work environment                      develop a working environment in which employees

Believing in the success of people            The HR Principles of Tesco were developed in 1997
                                              from discussions with thousands of staff on what they
                                              thought Tesco stood for, and what they wanted the
                                              business to be. Ten years later, Tesco staff has
                                              refreshed the Values to reflect the business today and

                                              possible.
Checking For Employee Abuse &                 The group believes that If a person believes that he
Mistreatment                                  has been the victim of discrimination or have any

Potential                                     are more likely to go that extra mile to help our
                                              customers.

General HR values for running the company:-

They want to win locally by applying our skills globally. Locally because all retailing is local.

competitiveness of each of our businesses around the world.

                                       competitive advantage. At the same time when trying
                                       to gain a competitive edge, the group tries to ensure
                                       that its vision for society & values at running the
                                       organisation are not kept aside.

                                       who work together as partners across business units
                                       and functions.
Making People Responsible for their    The group believes in want to giving its people the
actions                                training they need to succeed in their work. They want
                                       them to be responsible and accountable for their
                                       businesses and functions.

Rewarding Outstanding Performance      The group believes in recognizing and thanking its
& Appraisal                            people for its outstanding performance. They believe
                                       everyone on their team is important and deserves
                                       respect for who they are and how they can contribute
                                       to our success.
Building A Culture of Team Spirit      The Group believes in referring to its employees as
                                       “team members” not “employees” because their people
                                       are a precious resource to be invested in, not expenses
                                       to be managed—and because teamwork is essential to
                                       help their customers & their business succeed
                                       financially. The group believes that products and
                                       technology don’t fulfil the promise behind a brand
                                       people do, people who are more talented, more
                                       motivated, more energized than their competitors.

Evaluating Employee Performance        We value the contribution every team member can
                                       make toward our company’s success by:
                                       a) Holding ourselves personally accountable for
                                       results.
                                        b) Taking prudent risks.
                                        c) Leading by example.
                                        d) Leading by having the courage to speak what we
                                       believe is the truth.
                                        e) Making decisions locally, close to the customer.
                                        f) Caring about each other and showing it.
Developing future leaders              Each year, the Wells Fargo group invest millions of
                                       dollars in team member training for education,
                                       mentoring and coaching, developing management and
                                       leadership skills, and helping team members find
                                       challenging new assignments.
Developing a culture of shared         They believe the greatest skill is the skill to learn new
responsibility                         skills. At Wells Fargo, career development is a shared
                                       responsibility between team members and their
                                       managers. They believe that they are expected to take
                                       charge of our own career development.

Building A Culture of Pride              We involve our people in creating a great place to
                                         work and a company they can be proud to work for.

Policy for serving the customer          Aviva's people strategy and our track record as a
                                         responsible employer help us to compete in a
                                         competitive market for the right people to take our
                                         business forward. We have a clear purpose - to drive a
                                         talent leadership and culture-led transformation to
                                         deliver exceptional business performance.
Talent acquisition & employee retention We have approached this by implementing strategies
                                        designed to:
                                               Encourage talented people to join Aviva and
                                               stay
                                               Match the right people to the right roles and
                                               take action where there are gaps
                                               Empower people to be the best they can be
                                        Build pride in Aviva.
Introducing leadership programmes        We want to create an employment brand that attracts
                                         and retains the best talent and differentiates Aviva as
                                         an employer of choice. We have introduced
                                         management and leadership programmes to nurture
                                         talent and create proactive dialogue with leaders and
                                         their teams.
Celebrating success & rewarding          We also celebrate success through recognition
employees                                schemes, including Spotlight and Aviva Achievers,
                                         which give employees credit for exceptional
                                         performance.
                                          Senior management pay continues to be linked to the
                                         survey results through clear benchmarked targets on
                                         leadership and engagement.
Employees all round skill development    Performance review & Recruiting and retaining the
& Welfare                                best people in an increasingly competitive market are a
                                         strategic priority for Aviva and we have launched a
                                         new section to showcase career options across our
                                         worldwide markets.
Voluntary programs to foster a culture   We delivered more than 57,250 hours of volunteering
of leadership                            in 2010. More people were involved, but this is a drop-
                                         back in total volume. This was due to the removal of
                                         paid intermediaries previously used to broker
                                         opportunities, and the limited volunteering options
                                         when working with vulnerable children. We are
                                         addressing this by providing more volunteering
                                         choices for employees in 2011.

                              retail sector. In countries where no officially-
                              recognised vocational training is available, METRO
                              GROUP ensures the company meets its needs in terms
                              of future specialists with own training programs.
Further Training              The company-wide employee training at Metro Cash &
                              Carry is of a high international standard. In order to
                              ensure the challenging contents of the training course
                              are consistent across all locations, the sales divisions in
                              Germany, France, Russia and China set up intercultural
                              training centres. Under the label of "House of
                              Training", Metro Cash & Carry delivers permanent
                              training courses for employees on the activities in
                              wholesale stores or purchasing. Experienced specialists
                              from the company mediate on practical topics including
                              food customers and preparation, merchandising and
                              store layout.

Employee Retention            The objective for METRO GROUP is to retain skilled
                              management and specialist staff as long as possible in
                              the company. This is a key challenge, particularly in the
growth areas of Eastern Europe and Asia due to the low
                                    levels of unemployment and growing competition.

                                    financial and performance-related. Within a period of
                                    up to three years, employees are able to progressively
                                    improve their specialist skills and their earnings from
                                    the so-called Starter to High Potential level.
Establishing a credible social      METRO GROUP's success is linked to a sound social
environment                         environment. The goal is to strengthen the
                                    attractiveness and performance of the company's
                                    locations, as well as the stakeholders' trust. That's the
                                    reason behind METRO GROUP's commitment to
                                    numerous social projects and initiatives.

Performance linked        Paying out bonuses or having any kind of variable compensation
Bonuses                   plan can be both an incentive and disillusionment, based on how it
                          is administered and communicated. Bonus must be designed in
                          such a way that people understand that there is no payout unless the
                          company hits a certain level of profitability. Additional criteria
                          could be the team’s success and the individual’s performance.
                          Never pay out bonus without measuring performance, unless it is a
                          statutory obligation.

Recruiting                It is a well-known pet peeve of HR managers that hiring managers
                          try to begin the hiring process for a candidate with only a vague
                          idea of what exactly they are looking for. Even when job
                          descriptions are available for them to refer to, they must be
                          reminded to use the job description as a reference tool. Otherwise
                          they are wasting everybody’s time – HR, the candidates’ and their
                          own. Hiring managers must review what it is that they’re looking
                          for. Each year, requirements and criteria change. Post all jobs on
                          company web site so that everyone knows about it and can apply
                          or refer the vacancy to somebody else that might be qualified.
                          Once you have a candidate, conduct behavioural and technical
                          tests first, then do a telephone screening, then bring them in for a
                          face-to-face interview.

HR Practices                                     Description
Basic Policies and System   The cornerstone of RICOH policy on recruitment and promotion is
                            to not discriminate on the basis of race, gender or disability, or in
                            any other way. All forms of discrimination are strictly prohibited.
Promoting Employment for    In April 2002, ROCOH established a special-purpose subsidiary,
Physically and Mentally     RICOH Hikari Corp., to provide employment opportunities to
Challenged in Japan         mentally challenged individuals who desire to enter the workforce.

Employee - Occupational     RICOH Global Policy on Occupational Health & Safety, adopted in
Health & Safety             1998, designates occupational health & safety (OH&S) as an
Management                  integral part of all RICOH business operations. This policy obliges
                            RICOH global sites to implement OH&S activities over and above
                            those required by law, and stipulates that OH&S activities be
                            carried out in accordance with the Plan, Do, Check, Act (PDCA)
                            cycle.
Work                        Organizations must be prepared to address and overcome local
                            resistance to change.
Keeping it legal            Put together a list of organizations you can turn to for legal advice
                            in the ever changing world of HR. References should at least
                            include membership in a national human resource organization (like
                            Society for Resource Management and the Human Resource
                            Planning Society), and links to your national, state or provincial

                            not communicated well, the success of one team and therefore
                            larger payout can be perceived as not fair. People can feel that they
                            are not in control of the external factors that may impact the bonus
                            in a given year (e.g. the economy).

management           group’s transformation, and in particular the sustainability of its business
                     growth in an increasingly unpredictable world, it launched a multi-annual
                     program in 2009 based on common values and attitudes that will empower
                     and strengthen proximity management. This will enable each and every

                              within their different business environments, and this will need to

Happy Workplace        employees feel homely and stay with your organization for a very
                       long time. Capture their pulse through surveys. Merely recognizing
                       talent does not work, you need to couple it with ceremonies where
                       recognition is broadcast. Looking at the Dollar Check is often less
                       significant than listening to the thunderous applause by colleagues
                       in a public forum.


Open Book Management   Sharing information about contracts, sales, new clients,
Style                  management objectives, company policies, employee personal data
                       etc. ensures that the employees are as enthusiastic about the
                       business as the management. Through this open book process you
                       can gradually create a culture of participative management and
                       ignite the creative endeavour of your work force... It involves
                       making people an interested party to your strategic decisions, thus
                       aligning them to your business objectives. Be as open as you can. It
                       helps in building trust & motivates employees. Employee self
                       service portal, Manager on-line etc. are the tools available today to
                       the management to practice this style.
Knowledge Sharing      AMR Stores knowledge in databases to provide greater access to
                       information posted either by the company or the employees on the
                       knowledge portals of the company. When an employee returns after
                       attending any competencies or skills development program, sharing
                       essential knowledge with others could be made mandatory.
                       Innovative ideas are good to be posted on these knowledge sharing
                       platforms. However, what to store & how to maintain a Knowledge
                       base requires deep thinking to avoid clutter.

Confidential Information    Confidential information is a valuable business asset and includes
                            opinions, knowledge and facts about Telstra, its employees, its business
                            and its customers that have not been disclosed to the public. It also
                            includes information derived from the performance of your work with
                            Telstra. You should treat all Telstra information, including information
                            contained in Telstra documents, files, records, emails or on the intranet,
                            as confidential unless it has been expressly approved for public release.
                            If you have access to confidential information, you are responsible for
                            ensuring that it is used only for authorised purposes and is protected
                            from theft, unauthorised disclosure or inappropriate use.
Conflicts of Interest and   We all have interests and activities outside our work with Telstra.
Outside Activities          However, when this results in divided loyalties – that is, when personal
                            interests or activities influence, or could appear to influence,
                            Someone’s ability to act in the best interests of Telstra – a conflict of
                            interest exists. You must avoid actual and apparent conflicts of interest.
                            Examples of situations where a conflict of interest could arise are:
                            • employment outside of Telstra
                            • serving as a director of another business
                            • holding interests or investments in, or having a personal or
                            professional relationship with, a
                            competitor, customer or supplier with whom you deal
                            • giving or receiving gifts, prizes and hospitality.

HR Practices                Description
Vendor social compliance    At The TJX Companies, we value our vendor relationships greatly
                            as they have been a key factor in our long-term success and are built
                            on the mutual agreement of upholding the high ethical standards
                            embodied in TJX’s Vendor Code of Conduct and Vendor Social
                            Compliance Program. The approach is open and honest - the goal,
                            continuous improvement. In order for our vendors to understand our
                            standards and expectations, TJX has created its Vendor Code of
                            Conduct which requires each of our vendors, at a minimum, to act in
                            accordance with all applicable laws and regulations when
                            manufacturing products to be sold to TJX. With respect to certain
                            issues, our Code prescribes higher standards of performance.

Attention to governance     The TJX Companies, Inc. has practiced excellence in corporate
                            governance for more than three decades. TJX is committed to the
                            highest standards of ethics, which are reflected in our Director Code
                            of Business Conduct and Ethics, Code of Ethics for TJX Executives
                            and Associate Code of Conduct. These policies are practiced daily
                            and anchored by our core values of integrity, openness and treating
                            others with dignity and fairness. We strongly believe that effective
                            corporate governance must evolve and change with the needs of our
                            stakeholders. Therefore, we listen carefully, re-evaluate our policies
                            and practices periodically and aim to act in the best interests of our
                            Associates, customers, shareholders, vendors and communities in
                            which we operate.

Environmental Initiatives   While the "E" in V.A.L.U.E. stands for "Environmental Initiatives,"
                            it could also stand for "everyone" as we strongly believe each and
                            every one of us has a role to play in protecting the environment and
                            conserving natural resources. The TJX Companies has long been
                            committed to pursuing initiatives that are smart for our business and
                            good for the environment. One way in which we demonstrate our
                            commitment is by reducing our energy and water use and waste
                            generation.

Leveraging differences      At The TJX Companies, leveraging differences and diversity among
                            people is integrated throughout our business. As a Company of
                            Choice, we are committed to being a Retailer of Choice – leveraging
                            the diversity among our customers and our vendor base, an
                            Employer of Choice – leveraging differences to recruit and retain a
                            talented and diverse workforce, and a Neighbor of Choice –
                            leveraging diversity within the communities we serve. At TJX, we
                            embrace global diversity and inclusion as seriously as any business
                            imperative.

HR Practices        Description
Ethical behavior    Emerson demands the highest business and personal standards of
                    ethics. Recognizing that Emerson's reputation is priceless, we lack
                    tolerance for any ethical compromise in our operations as well as in
                    service to our customers, communities and other stakeholders. We
                    formalize our requirements in the Emerson Business Ethics
                    Program, a set of policies and practices honed over the past two
                    decades that defines standards for every Emerson employee in his
                    or her business practices. Emerson's leaders continuously
                    communicate the roles and responsibilities of employees on the full
                    scope of ethics-related issues, including compliance with the laws,
                    rules and regulations, and accepted practices of each country in
                    which we do business; handling of proprietary data and
                    information; financial reporting; securities trading; and reporting of
                    ethical violations.
Health and Safety   Emerson’s emphasis on creating and sustaining healthy and safe
                    work environments reflects our respect for our employees and
                    others. High standards in these areas underpin a critical aspect of
                    operating productively and, in turn, help us compete effectively.
                    Beyond this, Emerson’s products and services enable our customers
                    and their customers to provide healthy and safe environments.
Environmental       Environmental responsibility stands at the forefront of today’s
Stewardship         global corporate agenda. Emerson addresses this responsibility in
                    two primary ways: 1) through our commitment to provide products
                    and services that improve energy efficiencies and reduce potential
                    harm to the environment, and 2) through our efforts to operate our
                    facilities in a manner that protects the environment, meets or
                    exceeds government requirements, and continually reduces energy
                    consumption and waste. Our global reach affords us a broad
                    environmental perspective that balances advances in living
                    standards and prosperity with potential impact on the planet and the
                    well-being of future generations.

Success through diversity           Equal opportunity for all – no matter who you are. This right
                                    applies to all Bertelsmann locations worldwide and is firmly
                                    anchored in our core values. Respect for each individual
                                    employee demands that ethnic background, gender, age,
                                    religion, sexual orientation and disabilities are of no
                                    consequence in our company.

                                    important for each and every one of us. As a business, we
                                    also have a strong interest in having healthy and motivated
                                    employees. Demographic change is causing a decline in the
                                    number of young professionals on the labour market.

                                    sector – is becoming an interesting career prospect for more

Unexpected                            employees with unexpected things that may come in the
                                      form of a reward, a gift or a well-done certificate. Reward
                                      not only the top performers but also a few others who are
                                      in need of motivation to exhibit their potential.
Fair Evaluation System for Employees Develop an evaluation system that clearly links individual
                                     performance to corporate business goals and priorities.
                                     Each employee should have well defined reporting
                                     relationships. Self-rating as a part of evaluation process
                                     empowers employees. Evaluation becomes fairer if it is
                                     based on the records of periodic counselling &
                                     achievements of the employee, tracked over the year. For
                                     higher objectivity, besides the immediate boss, each
                                     employee should be screened by the next higher level
                                     (often called a Reviewer). Cross - functional feedback, if
                                     obtained by the immediate boss from another manager
                                     (for whom this employee’s work is also important), will
                                     add to the fairness of the system. Relative ratings of all
                                     subordinates reporting to the same manager are another
                                     tool for fairness of evaluation. Normalization of
                                     evaluation is yet another dimension of improving fairness

                                       Ideas rule the world. Great organizations recognize,

                                      flooding your organization is the lack of an appropriate
                                      mechanism to capture ideas. Open house discussions,
                                      employee-management meets, suggestion boxes and ideas
                                      capture tools such as Critical Incidents diaries are the
                                      building blocks that can help the Managers to identify &
                                      develop talent.

Recruitment and retention      Lenovo believes that being the best possible employer helps
                               to recruit and retain the best employees. Retaining talented
                               employees is critically important, and the Group recognises
                               that the best way of earning employee loyalty is by providing
                               them with good and challenging jobs, with opportunities for
                               development and progression, and with competitive
                               compensation and benefits schemes.
Training and development       As our business continues to evolve, we encourage and
                               enable all our people to develop and grow with it. Lenovo
                               Group continues to invest in and improve its managerial and
                               technical capabilities through internal development and
                               training of its employees across India and South East Asia.
Diverse workforce              We believe as a matter of principle that diversity within the
                               workforce greatly enhances our overall capabilities. We pride
                               ourselves on being an equal opportunity employer and do not
                               discriminate on the basis of race, caste, religion, colour,
                               ancestry, gender, marital status, sexual orientation, age,
                               nationality, ethnic origin or disability.
Open and continuing dialogue   Clear, honest, two-way communication between management
                               and employees at all levels is intrinsic to the culture of the
                               Lenovo. Mutual trust based on openness and transparency is
                               equally ingrained in the performance culture of our
                               operations.

Cross - functional feedback, if obtained by the immediate boss from another manager (for whom this employee’s work is also important), will add to the fairness of the system. Relative ratings of all subordinates reporting to the same manager are another tool for fairness of evaluation. Normalization of evaluation is yet another dimension of improving fairness Ideas rule the world. Great organizations recognize, Open house discussions and feedback nurture and execute great ideas. Employees are the biggest mechanism source of ideas. The only thing that can stop great ideas flooding your organization is the lack of an appropriate mechanism to capture ideas. Open house discussions, employee-management meets, suggestion boxes and ideas capture tools such as Critical Incidents diaries are the building blocks that can help the Managers to identify & develop talent.
