There is a need to appoint a corporate ethics officer or a group of officers to review the "ethical practices" in the company. So as to allow them to improve constantly.
The management must first agree that it is important to pracitce good ethics. They must lead by example so that the rest of the employees will follow suit.
2. Create awareness
Create awareness, some people may not think that what they do is wrong, maybe because of upbringing, maybe because of their surroundings. Whatever it may be, creating awareness of what is right will harness the importance of establishing good ethics.
3. Establish a corporate code of conduct and ethical standards
The board of directiors, senior management or relatead personnel can come together to set standards and code of conduct for the employees to follow. This can be a follow up after the company creates awareness for their employees.
4. Conduct social audits
Social audits will help the company to understand better on whether they are moving towards the right track and will help them improve.
5. Require employees to take ethics training
As mentioned, creating awareness will allow them to know right from wrong. Some of these employees can go for training to further understand the importance of practising good ethics and how they should go about to practice good ethics.
6. Compliments
Ever heard of this statement, "nobody remembers the good things that you have done, but everyone remembers the mistake you made". It is important to compliment employees who do what is right, so that it will be a source of encouragement to them.
Compliment the employees and then they will be motivated to work towards a honest and upright lifestyle.
