Integrating Ethics Your Organization

By admin On May 12th, 2010

Many organizations approach ethics by sponsoring an occasional one or two hour training session for their employees. It is almost as if we treat ethics like an inoculation: one shot and you are good for life! What we know about learning, however, is that it takes continued exposure to new material for it to become integrated into employee knowledge and behavior. The same principle is true also of ethics. This short article will suggest ways that ethics can be integrated into your existing employee processes.

Begin at the beginning: Include ethics in your recruitment and selection materials and processes. If the ability to reason through ethical problems is a part of the job, why not mention that fact in the position advertisement? As well, including simple ethical reasoning examples in the job interview can give you insight into your candidates’ ethical thinking as well as emphasize the importance your organization places on ethics.

By admin On February 2nd, 2010

When we hear negative news at work, one of our first reactions is to keep it a secret or downplay the issue. There are many seemingly innocent ways we say it. “Let’s keep this between us.” “We can’t let this get out.” “Let’s not overreact.” “We don’t want to concern people.” Unfortunately, we’ve gotten pretty good at squelching bad news.

The desire to hide an issue or downplay a problem is understandable in some ways. In our minds, we probably think we’re being loyal by protecting the company from criticism. But, this gut reaction is very short sighted. All companies have problems. What matters the most is how we respond to them.

In almost every case, hiding our problems multiplies our problems. It happens in countless ways we can’t anticipate. When we try to smooth over bad news, we can’t correct the problems adequately, so they snowball.

Many business leaders are missing the point to the peril of their company’s survival. It all boils down to one thing: People are tired of being lied to and getting “ripped off” whether by politicians, government agencies, big and small business or their next door neighbor.
