Question: Think about the three elements of an ethical organizational culture outlined: (1) the existence of a set of core ethical values infused throughout the organization in its policies, processes, and practices; (2) the establishment of a formal ethics program, including a code of ethics, ethics training, an ethics hotline, and an ethics officer; and (3) the continuous presence of ethical leadership-that is, an appropriate 'tone at the top' as reflected by the board of directors, senior executives, and managers. While each of these three elements is distinct, they also overlap, relate to, and reinforce each other. This article discusses each of the three key elements necessary to develop and maintain an ethical corporate culture. In the first paragraph of your post articulate your understanding of how the three elements are interrelated, and address the following: Do you think all three elements are equally important? If not, which do you believe is the most important and why? Response should be at a minimum of 5 sentences and between 75 and 125 words.
