Business Ethics must be submitted, to safeguard and promote

Business ethics is a topic in the news almost every day, in business schools, at work and in our homes. I take great care of business ethics and what is written about them in my daily life as a strategic thinking, planning and business coach. I'm still amazed the observations of large companies a few years ago when they said it "has waived or suspended" code of ethics or customer needs. I'm still a total loss about how you can "suspend or revoke the ethics."
While it might not be able to explain the suspension or termination of ethics, I hope to give some solid advice on what business organizations and others have to do today to present, preserve and promote ethics in their organizations. Here are ten action items I would recommend:

1. Present ethical behavior as a requirement, not an option. Companies are more capital trial, literally and figuratively, for the very strong ethics violations. Unethical act means that eventually you will be caught. Today is a very appropriate time to take advantage of the current business environment to make ethical behavior as a requirement, not an option.

2. Present all the ethics in daily interactions with internal and external stakeholders. Unfortunately too many people perceive that ethics need only be presented to the "bad" companies in need of reform. Well, my experience indicates the opposite. Companies with a strong track record of ethical, responsible behavior have more to gain from a well-designed to ensure the cultivation of ethical corporate culture. Every action of every employee in an ethical culture and will further enhance the positive reputation of the company.

3. Present the desired behavior in an ethical code of ethical conduct. Ethical conduct of each employee must become a habit of every minute of every hour of every day. No exceptions, no waivers and no suspension of the ethical code!

4. Preserving the ethical to let everyone know that ethics is here to stay. While there may be "newcomers" to embrace ethics in business, ethical and responsible behavior have always been the standard in many companies. Even when ethical behavior may fail to improve the bottom line as much as desired, the alternative is not unethical to operate a viable option. This commitment to preserve and extend the reputation that has been earned through consistent ethical behavior over time.

5. Keep an ethical culture that serves as a base. If you are not subjected to a test, then it is easy to say that acting ethically. However, what you do when you are faced with the difficult ethical decisions? Very positive statement that the ethics program is a success when there is an integrated culture where people make the right choices, even when the choices are difficult, uncomfortable, or adverse to the interests of short-term individual or company.

6. Keep an ethical culture that perpetuates ethics. Compliance consistent with a strong code of ethical conduct will be a strong incentive to have the ethics become self-perpetuating. A reversal of behavior will occur even in those who speak out against unethical behavior will be the majority, instead of the majority are those who simply ignore and do nothing when they observe unethical behavior. A real ethical culture will evolve into a self-regulation based on a peer-to-peer level.

7. Promote ethics and their benefits. Too many companies will always look at the cost of something, without looking at the benefits. The same is true of ethics. Too many companies, unfortunately only look to embrace and enforce a code of ethics in terms of what it costs, rather than the benefits they will gain. Ethical behavior and a culture of ethics would allow many advantages, including: employee relations better, more productive workforce morale and a positive corporate image.

8. Promoting ethics from above. If you read history and Greek mythology, you came across a well-known proverb that a fish rots from the greek head. In today's corporate world, the saying is applicable. The message, spoken and unspoken, from the top is essential to reinforce positive, responsible, ethical conduct. If top managers and top management executives say one thing but do another, the message of ethical behavior becomes very confusing. Managers should use their positions in society to insist on and promote ethical conduct. Managers must "walk the talk" and keep the same high ethical standards expected by others and highlight those high standards in everything we say and do.

9. Fostering a corporate culture in which ethics is for everyone. Ethics is not only reserved for its management. E 'for everyone, every day. Everyone in your company needs to be trained and convinced to act ethically. No exceptions!

10. Present, preserve and promote the ethical, rewarding ethical behavior. Develop a compensation system that provides a component of benefits and rewards for ethical behavior integrated with performance based incentives. People who demonstrate, are guided by ethical behavior needs to be recognized and celebrated. There must be a clear connection between ethical conduct and career advancement potential. The consequences of unethical behavior of a person must be discussed immediately and be accompanied by a change to their career advancement within the company .......
