ENCOMPASS GLOBAL CONSULTANT NETWORK

MUTUAL EXPECTATIONS & COMMITMENTS

EnCompass is proud of its accomplishments over the past years, and we fully share this success with every
consultant who has been a part of our Global Consultant Network. You are the face and spirit of our
organization to our clients, who are the beneficiaries of our services and programs. At the end of the day,
it is the quality of your work, your caring, and your deep competency that distinguishes the work of
EnCompass and makes a difference in the world. We feel a strong commitment to you and will strive to
honor and respect our collaboration with you. Together we deliver outstanding quality and exceptional
customer service to our clients.

Given EnCompass’ extensive Global Consultant Network, it is important to codify the values, principles

EnCompass consultants. We thank you for your contributions and look forward to our continued
collaboration and success. We are here to support you in any way we can. Please let us know how we can
