noticeable by its absence.

“What to do?
My producer is a bully and hiring
like-minded people.
Ethics is becoming a question in
my organization.”

Stella,
HR, Executive
“I find few employees of my
organization, disclosing
confidential client data to our
competitors.”

Stephany,
HR, Executive
“Should the performance
feedback session follow a
corrective or punitive
approach?”

All these are issues addressing common
workplace ethics.
Ethical problems are inevitable in all
levels of business.

Employees, having strong
ethics in personal and
professional life, need no
explanation, unlike those
employees for whom work
ethics is a growing
problem.
12

By the time employees hit the workforce,
can they be taught things like ethics –
or is it too late?
13

Training on workplace ethics is imperative.
14

Ethics help a lot in effective productivity
as well as a great balance of responsibilities
in your life on personal & professional front.
15

How do you train your employees to be ethical to one and
all, whether in the professional realm or personal?
• A written code of conduct
• Define ethics to be maintained in an organization.
• Each employee should have one, including new hires.
22

Training programs
• Organizations should focus on training in ethics at the
workplace.
• A few members from the top level management can lead the
ethics training programs.
23

Performance feedback sessions should be
corrective in nature.
24

Good Behavior should be
acknowledged.
25

Role model
• Seniors behaving in a morally upright manner will set an
example for employees to follow.
26

Here are a few thoughts to get the ball rolling.
27

Clearly, consistently, and frequently communicate the desired
behaviors and why they are important to the organization.
28
Model these behaviors as a leader

Hold people accountable for demonstrating these
behaviors on an escalating path
29

Ethics depends on situation.
30
In spite of training sessions on ethics, enforcement
is ultimately left to the individual.

And finally, it is essential to communicate ethical values
to employees as you are giving them the authority to
take appropriate ethical decision
in any given situations.
