Concept & Brief Description: Ethics- A high performing organization meets high ethical standards. It includes honesty and fairness. if employees and the organization are going to have a good long relationship they need to follow these two aspects. If you aren't treating your employees fairly or with respect they will leave or sue you.
Emotional Hook: For me I have had times in my jobs where I feel like my employer has not been fair with me. I've never really dealt with the honesty problem but they seem to reward those that don't deserve it and give you less than what you really deserve. I actually quit one of my obs because I felt like I was doing more than the rest of the employees and getting underpaid. I was finally fed up with it and quit. I did share my opinion with my manager and boss. I felt like those that decided to do more should get paid more. I was going above and beyond and it was never noticed.
Layout: According to Charles O. Holliday Jr. '"just saying your ethical isn't very useful. You have to earn trust by what you do every day."'Posting a sheet of ethical values that the company has. The organization needs to enforce these ethics. I feel like some companies aren't extremely strict with this. Some people get punished and some don't it is very unfair and can land them in trouble.
Facilitative Questions: What has made our society so unethical? it seems like we lie and cheat our way through life and expect to be praised for it. Also how can an organization help their employees to be honest and fair with the company and other employees? But also how can you trust your employees without hovering or babysitting?
