Problem Solving:

Answer this situation based on (TI) Texas Instruments ethical guidelines

Situation: Your co-worker is applying for a new job within your company that has offered more responsibility and significantly more pay. She has listed you as a reference. A questionnaire was sent by the Human Resources department asking if there is any reason you cannot recommend the applicant. You know that your friend is struggling with a drug problem. Do you mention this problem on the reference form? If so, how? If not, why not?

Texas Instruments ethical guidelines: Texas Instruments (TI) includes respect for individuals, a commitment to long-term relationships, a concern for the environment, and a sense of duty to the communities where it does business.TI encourages employees to use the following guidelines whenever they have a concern about whether a business activity is consistent with the company's values. This information is provided to TI employees on a business-card-size mini-pamphlet to carry with them.

1) Is the action legal?

2) Does it comply with our TI values? (Trustworthiness, Inclusivity, Innovation, Competitiveness)

3) Does it comply with our TI Code of Conduct? (Compliance with all laws; respect and inclusion; appropriate behavior; responsible business practices; health and safety; confidential information protection and privacy; avoiding conflicts of interest; using [company] resources responsibly) answer the "Who, What When, Where, Why, and How" questions, this is an important step in making sure everyone understands the aspect of the case study formulate TWO possible solutions to the problem for each two TI guidelines you choose.

You should describe its decision based upon two selected Texas Instruments' ethical guidelines.
