Organizational ethics involves establishing a framework of principles and values that guide an organization's behavior and decision-making. It's about doing what's right, even when it's not the easiest or most profitable path to take.
One of the most important reasons to focus on organizational ethics is its impact on reputation and trust. When an organization operates ethically, it enhances its reputation and fosters trust among its customers, employees, and stakeholders.
Ethical organizations also promote a positive workplace culture, boosting employee morale and retention. Happy employees are more likely to stay with the company and give their best.
