Assignment: Ethics

Codes of conduct have become expected documents on company websites, and employee training includes review of the companys expected employee conduct. Access an example of a code of conduct on a major company website of your choice prior to starting this assignment.

Read the scenario and address the checklist questions in an original presentation.

Scenario: Your employer makes a show of promoting strong ethics, with regular training classes, posters in hallways and on bulletin boards, a toll-free hotline, and social networking links, etc. However, as the economy has slowed during the past several months, you have observed that the managers are not practicing what they had been preaching about ethics. They are encouraging employees to cut corners on product and service quality and squeezing suppliers by not paying their bills on time. This does not reflect the company that you had come to respect with their previous emphasis on business ethics. The new president of your company has just taken control and sees this breach in ethics. They task you with creating a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation for employees regarding the ethical policy points you want employees to adhere to in the new Code of Ethical Conduct (an original creation).

Checklist: Create a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation.

• Create a presentation for employees regarding the ethical points you want the employees to adhere to.
• What conduct is expected from employees?
• Your minimum 10 slides should be original work involving your company (or a friend's or relatives).
