Ethics is a science of morality. Its purpose is to act as a safeguard and reinforce certain benevolent behaviours in the office. Ethics define the day-to-day behaviour of all employees in a company.
Whether internal or external, ethics govern the (proper) functioning of the company or organisation. The ethical guidelines that apply in a given professional field will specify the lines of conduct for each employee in his or her interpersonal relations and relations with the tasks requested.
Greater awareness of one's actions
In a company, the ethical principles practised will enable you to better evaluate your own actions or those of your team, if you are a manager. Ethics will help you to make the corrections you need to carry out your tasks successfully, without having to appeal to your superiors.
Codes of ethics exist in a number of professions, including communications and public relations.
Better team cohesion thanks to ethics
All companies should be able to decide together on the ethical principles chosen by the company to best represent its values. This can be decided during a seminar or workshop day between the various players involved.
Professional ethics are a guarantee of quality and transparency and reflect well on those who practice them in the professional world. It is also a guarantee of productivity: operating according to solid, established principles of professional ethics helps the business sector to channel resources in the best possible way, and consequently to improve internal processes.
