Framework for Ethical Decision-Making: PLUS Filters PPT

This PPT slide, part of the 24-slide Ethical Organization: PLUS Decision Making Model PowerPoint presentation, presents the PLUS Filters, a framework designed to enhance ethical decision-making within organizations. It outlines a systematic approach to evaluate decisions through 4 distinct filters: Policies, Legal, Universal, and Self. Each filter serves a specific purpose in assessing the ethical implications of a decision.

The first filter, Policies, prompts decision-makers to consider whether their actions align with the organization's established policies, procedures, and guidelines. This ensures that decisions are not only ethical, but also consistent with the organization's internal governance.

The second filter, Legal, emphasizes compliance with applicable laws and regulations. This step is crucial, as it safeguards the organization against potential legal repercussions and reinforces the importance of adhering to external standards.

The Universal filter asks whether the decision conforms to the broader universal principles and values adopted by the organization. This encourages alignment with ethical norms that transcend individual organizational policies, promoting a culture of integrity.

Lastly, the Self filter invites individuals to reflect on their personal definitions of what is right, good, and fair. This introspective component ensures that personal ethics are considered alongside organizational standards, fostering a holistic approach to decision-making.

The slide concludes with a cautionary note that while the PLUS Filters facilitate the identification of ethical components, they do not guarantee an ethical outcome. This highlights the importance of thoughtful consideration and the potential complexities involved in ethical decision-making. Overall, the PLUS Filters provide a structured methodology for organizations aiming to enhance their ethical decision-making processes.
