Ethical Organization: Improving Ethical Decision Making (PowerPoint PPT)

DESCRIPTION

Most companies have ethics and compliance policies that get reviewed and signed annually by all employees. An organization's policy often states something to the effect of "Employees are charged with conducting their business affairs in accordance with the highest ethical standards. Morals, as well as legal obligations, will be fulfilled in a manner, which will reflect pride on the organization's name." These all comes from a company's policy. Yet, to sustain a truly ethical workplace, it takes more than a compliance policy or Values Statement.

Corporate ethical failures have become painfully common, and they are not cheap. Billions of dollars have been paid in fines by companies charged with ethical breaches. Despite good intentions, organizations set themselves up for ethical catastrophes. In this age of corporate mistrust, creating an ethical workplace takes more than compliance programs.

This presentation discusses in entirety the 5 ways of boosting ethical decisions—the 5 ways organizations can provoke good people to make ethical choices.

1. Foster a Speak up Culture
2. Create Realistic Performance Targets
3. Ensure Goals Are Fair and Non-conflicting
4. Infuse Ethics into Regular Activities
5. Set a Positive Example

Organizations who don't want to find themselves on a front-page scandal must scrutinize their actions to far greater degrees than they may have realized.

This deck also includes slide templates for you to use in your own business presentations.

The presentation delves into the paradox of ethical organizations, highlighting how even well-intentioned companies can inadvertently create environments ripe for ethical lapses. It underscores the importance of fostering an ethical culture that goes beyond mere compliance, urging leaders to integrate ethics into the very fabric of daily operations. The deck also provides actionable insights on setting realistic performance targets, ensuring goals are fair, and embedding ethics into regular activities. This resource is essential for executives aiming to fortify their organization's ethical framework and avoid costly ethical breaches.
