  chances of success
 Ethical behavior is important in the workplace
 In short Everywhere business is conducted, ethics matters.
What does it mean to be ethical?
Ethics
Values
Morals
Integrity
Character
Laws
 These six concepts—ethics, values, morals, integrity, character, and laws—
  form the foundation of ethical business practices
Importance of Ethical Behavior in the Workplace

Ethical standards play important role in protection of
 company assets
Sometimes the most damaging acts are not the most
 obvious
Combating the subtle subversion
More examples of the silent saboteurs
Performing with unquestionable ethics and integrity
Sweat the small stuff
More of the silent saboteurs
It's only a pen
Help on ethical decisions
1) Ethical standards play important role in
protection of company assets

A good indicator of high levels of corporate
employee ethics is how well employees protect their
 company's assets
Employees who are treated with dignity and respect
Employee’s opinion of their organization is their
 conduct at work
Employees who have respect for their organization and
co-workers will avoid such practices


 Padding of labor charges and expense accounts
 Personal long distance phone calls on company
  accounts
 Untidy work areas, break areas and rest rooms
 Taking office supplies home
 Excessive breaks or sick days
 Improper use of copy machines and computer
  equipment
2) Sometimes the most damaging acts are not the
most obvious

Much time and effort are spent discussing those obvious
 ethical problems and situations.
Sometimes, however, our work relationships, our
 productivity, job satisfaction, and trust in our fellows are
 damaged by the subtle and subversive games that people
 play.
Ethical scandals in today's businesses quickly make it to the
 national spotlight.
Almost every newspaper highlights some situation or issue
 reeking of unethical behavior, questionable business
 practices, or outright law violations.
