Brainstorming: Are Ethics Programs Helpful? Web In the wake of the Enron collapse and other corporate scandals, more companies are hiring ethics officers-sometimes called ethics "cops." Companies are also investing in expensive interactive Web based ethics training. You have been named to a team to discuss ethics compliance in your company, a large firm with thousands of employees. It has no current program. Other companies have ethics codes, conflicts-of-interest policies, ethics officers, training programs, and hotlines. Some authorities, however, say that ethics failures are usually not the result of ignorance of laws or regulations. A variety of pressures may cause ethics lapses.
Task. Your boss, the Human Resources vice president, wants to learn more about employee feelings in regard to ethics programs.
In teams, brainstorm to find reactions to these questions. What kinds of ethical dilemmas do typical entry-level and midlevel managerial employees face? Do you think ethics codes help employees be more ethical?
What conditions might force employees to steal, lie, or break the rules? Can ethics be taught? What kind of workplace ethics program would you personally find helpful?
Before your brainstorming session, you might want to investigate the topic of ethics programs on the Web. Record your ideas during the session. Then organize the best ones into an outline to be presented to Rita Romano, Human Resources vice president.
