Employee Conduct Forum (ECF)

The Employee Conduct Forum (ECF) is a structured internal space where employees, interns, and program participants can discuss workplace conduct, report issues, and help maintain professional standards within Blue Helm Studios.
Purpose of the ECF

The Employee Conduct Forum provides a centralized place where team members can raise concerns, ask questions about workplace rules, and discuss conduct issues in a moderated environment.

Its goal is to maintain fairness, transparency, and accountability within Blue Helm Studios programs and teams.

Who Can Participate

Participation in the ECF is available to:

• Employees
• Interns in the Accessible Internship Program (AIP)
• Participants in the Disability Work Program (DWP)
• Participants in the Dyslexia Learning Program (DLP)

Access may be restricted depending on the topic or the level of confidentiality required.

Topics Discussed

The ECF may be used to discuss topics such as:

• Workplace behavior
• Conduct policy clarification
• Program rules and expectations
• Concerns regarding team interactions
• Suggestions for improving workplace culture

Moderation

The forum is moderated by Blue Helm Studios staff to ensure that discussions remain respectful and productive.

Harassment, discrimination, or disruptive behavior within the forum may result in moderation actions.

Confidentiality

Some discussions within the ECF may involve sensitive matters. Participants are expected to respect confidentiality and avoid sharing internal discussions outside of approved channels.

Ownership

All models created by developers or employees within Blue Helm Studios are considered the intellectual property of the company. Once a model is completed, ownership is officially transferred to Blue Helm Studios, regardless of who initially designed or built it.

This transfer means that employees and contributors may not reuse, redistribute, or monetize these models in personal projects or outside ventures without explicit written permission from management. Unauthorized use may be subject to disciplinary action.

Exceptions exist only if an employee modifies the model in a meaningful way using professional 3D modeling software (such as Blender), creating a derivative work that is significantly different from the original. Even then, any distribution must be reviewed and approved to ensure it does not infringe on Blue Helm Studios’ copyrights.

The company strictly enforces its copyright policies to protect its assets, maintain creative integrity, and ensure fair use across all projects. If there is any uncertainty about ownership rights or permitted use, employees should consult their manager or the legal department before taking action.

Policy Integration

The Employee Conduct Forum works alongside other Blue Helm Studios policies including:

• BHSDC (Blue Helm Studios Data Conduct)
• BHSURC (Blue Helm Studios User Rights Conduct)
• AIP (Accessible Internship Program)
• DLP (Dyslexia Learning Program)
• DWP (Disability Work Program)

Important Notice

The ECF exists to maintain a respectful and professional workplace environment. All participants are expected to communicate respectfully and follow Blue Helm Studios conduct policies.
