Corporate Governance

Code of Business Conduct

Discussions of integrity and ethics are still common topics in nearly all business publications today. But these discussions are not new to Workstream -- integrity and ethics have always been a significant part of the way we conduct business at Workstream. Operating with a strong sense of integrity is critical to maintaining trust and credibility with our customers, partners, employees, and investors. We also owe it to ourselves to maintain this focuson business ethics within the company. Our continued emphasis on the Workstream culture ultimately allows us tofocus on our business goals and still be consistently rated one of the best places to work in our industry.

Our code has traditionally embodied such rules regarding individual and peer responsibilities, as well as responsibilities to our employees, customers, suppliers, shareholders, the public and other stakeholders, and includes:

• Prohibiting conflicts of interest (including protecting corporate opportunities)
• Protecting Workstream's confidential and proprietary information and that of our customers' and vendors'
• Treating Workstream's employees, customers, suppliers and competitors fairly
• Protection and proper use of company assets
• Compliance with laws, rules and regulations (including insider trading laws)
• Encouraging the reporting of any unlawful or unethical behavior

The information below are those portions of our code of conduct, which address the issues listed above.

Overview of business ethics

The collection of policies and guidelines established in the Code of Business Conduct applies to all Workstream employees and board members of Workstream Inc. and subsidiaries of Workstream ("Workstream"). We believe that long-term, trusting business relationships are built by being honest, open and fair. We promise to uphold the highest professional standards in all global business operations. We also expect that those with whom we do business (including suppliers, customers or re-sellers) will adhere to the standards set by Workstream's Code of Business Conduct.

Outstanding employees are key to Workstream's success. Everyone is part of the company team, and each of us deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. In addition, every employee is responsible for his/her own conduct. No one has the authority to make another employee violate Workstream's Code of Business Conduct, and any attempt to direct or otherwise influence someone else to commit a violation is unacceptable.

Managers, in particular, set an example for other employees and are often responsible for directing the actions of others. Workstream requires all employees, including managers, to know and understand the Code of Business Conduct, as it applies personally to the employee or manager and to those under his/her supervision.

The fundamental principle that underlies the way we do business at Workstream is good judgment. An understanding of our legal and ethical parameters enhances that judgment. Workstream has a responsibility to pay constant attention to all legal boundaries and to comply with all applicable laws and regulations in all of its operations worldwide. We have the same obligation to the communities in which we do business and to the customers with whom we do business. For everyone at Workstream, this means following the spirit of the law and doing the right, ethical thing even when the law is not specific.
