Framework for Ethical Decision-Making: PLUS Filters Framework for Ethical Decision-Making Process Criteria for Effective Ethical Decision-Making Process

Organizations struggle to develop a simple set of guidelines that makes it easier for employees, regardless of position or level, to be confident of their decisions to meet competing standards of organizations for effective and Ethical Decision Making.

The traditional Decision Making Model taught in most ethics programs is often beyond the reading comprehension of the 25% of the employees population. An alternative model is necessary that takes into account 2 realities.

First, employees are called upon to make decisions in the normal course of their job. Organizations cannot function effectively if employees are not empowered to make decisions consistent with their positions and responsibilities.

Second, for the decision maker to be confident in the decision's soundness, every decision should be tested against the organization's policies and values, applicable laws and regulations, as well as the individual employee's definition of what is right, fair, good, and acceptable.

With these realities, the alternative Decision Making Model must be capable of ensuring that the ethical issues inherent in routine business situation could be effectively surfaced while making it easy for people in the organization to understand and use. To be most effective, it is essential that an ethical component called "PLUS filters" are embedded within the process.

This framework provides an in-depth discussion on the PLUS Ethical Decision Making Process, the 6-step approach to making ethical decisions, and the PLUS Filters. The PLUS Filters work as an integral part of the Decision Making process.

P = Policies
L = Legal
U = Universal
S = Self

The PLUS Filters ensure that the ethical components of the situation will be surfaced so that they might be considered in the process of making decisions.
