Company Asset Use
COMPANY PROPERTY
We trust you to use Tyson property for legitimate business purposes. You are expected to respect and care for this property, and to protect it from theft, loss, damage, misuse, or outside manipulation. It’s the right thing to do and it saves money. Managers who have spending authority or manage budgets and accounts have an additional level of responsibility to protect Tyson property. We protect the following: budgets, supplies, equipment, inventories, electronic devices, company time, non-public data and information, machinery, work product, and intellectual property.
Information technology systems and associated data are key to our business. We all must protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of these systems from being lost or compromised. We expect you to use your devices appropriately and for business purposes.
Tyson owns your work email, accounts, and systems, as well as the information contained on them. While limited personal use is acceptable, you do not have an expectation of privacy for personal communications made on company accounts and devices.
If you are aware of or suspect any violation of acceptable use policies, you must immediately report it to a member of management or the Help Line.
Remember…your email and online communications represent Tyson to the world.
