Business Ethics: how to encourage ethical behaviour from employees
Figures show that more and more companies are now reporting their ethical performance and it’s clear, I think, that companies now have to address the issue of ensuring ethical behaviour amongst their staff. The question is of course – how?
To begin with, awareness is key. And in order to promote awareness for ethics, the company needs to put ethics high on the training and staff development agenda. The HR department, say, can sponsor some workshops or seminars on business ethics, or even invite some external experts for this purpose.
Once these procedures are in place, the company then needs to spell out an official code of ethical practice and ensure that all employees have access to it and can understand it easily. The company then needs to implement an effective and anonymous system of reporting any breaches of this code. Some companies even benchmark their ethical practices against those of industry leaders and see how they’re doing.
I suppose it’s also vital that companies ensure that their senior managers set a good example, ‘walk and talk’ so to speak. If they don’t behave ethically why should staff?
All in all, whatever measures a company adopts, it needs to make staff understand why ethics is important not just to the company but also to themselves as well.一级建造师二级建造师二级建造师造价工程师土建职称公路检测工程师建筑八大员注册建筑师二级造价师监理工程师咨询工程师房地产估价师 城乡规划师结构工程师岩土工程师安全工程师设备监理师环境影响评价土地登记代理公路造价师公路监理师化工工程师暖通工程师给排水工程师计量工程师
