Challenge management staff to hold regular discussions with employees to work through
potential ethical issues that may come up and find ways to brainstorm through them as a
team.
If everyone is on the same page, it is more likely that the team as a whole will adopt the
same types of ethical behaviors.
3. Disciplinary actions for unethical behavior
If any employee of the organization resorts to any malpractice or unethical behavior after
completing the ethical training, its better to impose sanctions on them which will help
employees understand the implications of inappropriate behavior.
The management needs to lay down disciplinary actions that will be taken against
employees found guilty of violating the rules.
4. Rewards for ethical behavior:
After the completion of the ethical training program, an employee can be rewarded for
positive behavior, so that the employee will not only continue to adhere to the ethical
practices but also be an inspiration to his colleagues.
It is important that employers identify and reward employees who stick to ethical
practices, despite tempting situations.
Far too often, companies simply expect ethical behavior; however, if you want to
promote this as a prominent behavior among staff, then you need to show and prove, so
to speak.
Provide rewards for solid ethical behavior; for example, if you have an employee that
goes above and beyond to put her personal interests aside to always do what is best for
her clients, that is considered ethical behavior and she should be rewarded and held up as
an example for others to strive to do the same.
The more you reward employees for sound ethical decisions, the more likely the masses
will follow suit.
5. Consider Work-Life Balance
According to the Accounting Web website, a 2007 Ethics and Workplace survey by
Deloitte & Touche states that 91 percent of employees surveyed said they are most likely
to make good ethical decisions at work when they have a better sense of work-life
balance.
Pay attention to signs of burnout or discontent among staff, and take steps to address
these types of issues when they present themselves.
