Ethics in the Workplace
Good ethics is essential in the workplace to have a good, working environment. Many companies now enforce ethics training, in hopes that the good ethics will rise above bad ethics. But in too many cases that does not happen.
It is important to enforce good ethics in the workplace so that trust may be a result. Employers must be able to build trust around their employees and visa versa. Employees must also be able to trust fellow employees. When bad ethics are being displayed by an individual or group of individuals, it is hard to gain trust in the workplace. Without trust, the bad ethics multiply.
Pretty much any workplace individual is able to provide examples of both good and bad work ethics, whether they committed both, or form watching others in their workplace. We have provided examples of both, from personal experiences in a workplace environment.
While in the army, I saw a great display of both good and bad ethics, though one display of good ethics stands out in my mind. My platoon was deployed to a small island chain called Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands. We were deployed there, as our unit was every year to work on construction projects. The main island, Kwajalein is owned by the United States Government. We won this island in WW2 and there are items buried all over the island and in the water from the war. The replicas are worth quite a bit of money. A small US citizen workforce and military retirees live on the island. Islanders from the rest of the chain are brought over by ferry every morning to work as housekeepers, cooks, etc. These islanders are very poor and depend on the small wage that the US government pays them.
One day, an islander's shanty that he took breaks from the sun in, blew down in a mild tropical storm. It was right next to the building we were constructing. For the next couple of days this islander took his siestas in the sun or rain without asking for any help or shelter. When our weekend off came
