1. Introduction
Simply put, ethics involves learning what is right or wrong, and then doing the right thing -- but "the right
thing" is not nearly as straightforward as conveyed in a great deal of business ethics literature.
And within today's business arena, ethics are both important and vital if one is to succeed over the long
haul.
Philosophers consider ethics to be the "science of conduct." Some ethicists consider emerging ethical
beliefs to be "state of the art" legal matters, i.e., what becomes an ethical guideline today is often
translated to a law, regulation or rule tomorrow.
The questions around ethics and business are really simple to ask - yet hard to answer:
What about the monopoly charges brought against Microsoft-not to mention its movement into windows
with a product remarkably similar to Apple's operating system; Sears and its auto repairs problems; Nike
and IKEA, and their international labor issues; ValueJet's skimping on costs involved in airline safety;
General Electric and its river pollution problems; GE and Westinghouse's antitrust action in turbines;
Wal-Mart's aggressive growth strategy and the loss of small town businesses; Wal-Mart and its labor and
legal practices; and Wal-Mart with its "Buy America Program." Now here comes Enron, Arthur
Andersen, Global Crossing, Tyco, Martha Stewart, Disney (remember its privacy practices and guest
safety issues), Adelphia, Rite Aid, Nordstrom, the dot com bubble, Xerox and its large restatement of
earnings, ditto Lucent, and who could forget Krispy Kream donuts?
Bad ethics isn't necessarily new, but there does seem to be more problems that are even bigger today than
yesterday
There is a fundamental reality that seems to have escaped our notice: Ethical issues are important, and
ethical violations are not all that uncommon.
Are you involved in discussions about strategically important problems, opportunities and questions?
Ethics do not necessarily involve the big transgression all of the time.
And there IS much, much more: ethical issues are clearly both tenuous and complicated for all parties
involved...and with a heavy price for the now defensive HR professional, the employee victims, the
shareholders, and the organization itself.
Issues such as sexual harassment toleration, knowingly hiring illegal immigrants, violation of privacy,
biased performance reviews, wage and hour violations for the sake of saving overtime dollars,
terminating whistle-blowers for reasons totally unrelated to performance, and tolerable discrimination.
or is it ever?It appears that an underlying theme in all HR-involved workplace issues is a management
culture that fosters ethical ignorance - or at the very least knowingly allows an action to happen - even
when the organization flaunts a Code of Ethics.
In other words, ethical violations are likely playing with hand grenades or worse.
