Ethiquette

You must have noticed by now, I do love a bit of neologism, making new words up whenever it fits.

Today I’m gonna touch on the forsaken and underrated ethics topic. People don’t value it enough to blog about it anymore. I feel ethics still deserves its place in the world, now more than ever.

Having recently taken up a new job at a chartered institute, I’m getting to see how serious ethics can be taken, if you nurture a culture around it.

The values upholding becomes notoriously strong when everyone is (re)educated to respect them.

All starting with the institute need to sit an ethics test and a 75% score is the compulsory minimum. This alone, makes me revisit ALL my previous jobs. It really put things in perspective.

Maybe I reached a maturity level that has opened my eyes to what’s really valuable about your work environment. A strong ethics is a definite essential. It’s the base of everything good and correct: equality, mutual respect, solidarity.

It’s also common sense. I feel priviledged to be part of this fabulous organization. I am really happy to found an employer with values perfectly aligned with mine.

The impact on staff’s relationship is huge and many employers greatly underestimate the influence of work environment on staff’s productivity. Especially in a world where very few businesses practice what they preach because it’s either inconvenient or out of fashion.

Ethics leads to employer credibility, which drives creativity, productivity, world class customers service therefore, bringing more business.
