Overview: Simplistically put, ethics is learning the difference between right and wrong, and then doing the right thing. Right and wrong defined by different people may manifest diverse thinking, motivated by each individual’s personal values. Within a work environment, the cultural values that drive business decisions are critical to the organization’s credibility with its employees, customers, and shareholders. When there is a high level of attention given to ethics in the workplace, it helps to ensure that when leaders and managers are met with times of crises and confusion, they are able to adhere to a strong moral compass when determining acceptable and unacceptable decisions and actions. Ethical programs, therefore, cultivate and encourage strong teamwork and productivity, support employee growth, and help support programs such as Total Quality Management and Diversity. Inevitably, promoting ethical credibility internally enhances the organization’s pubic image of ethical credibility.
