Ethics
If you do not:
- Have an Ethics Policy (Statement)
- Talk Regularly About Ethics
- Allow Open Dialogue About Situations Involving Ethics
- Have a Mechanism in Place to Deal with Ethics Violations
You are losing money and you are exposed to a potentially huge liability.

Low ethical standards driven by greed caused much of the economic difficulty we now face.
That doesn't mean profit is bad! Profit is good and the more of it you make, the better. Greed as a motivator is bad. Greed corrupts the decision making process. That's when things go wrong.

When talking with employees about ethics, you must always stress that making money is not a bad thing. People easily confuse the drive to build profits with greed.
Oddly, the same people who believe the company 'charges too much' think nothing of stealing office supplies or taking phony sick days.
Do you know that just talking about ethics reduces employee theft, faked sick time and unethical on-the-job behavior?
Give me a day to talk about ethics with your people. That day will more than pay for itself.
