ACCENTUATE THE POSITIVE FEATURES
OF AN ETHICAL CLIMATE
* Honesty makes business profitable in a capitalist
society. An economy cannot COMPETE effectively
with lack of trust; with overregulation; with
people tying to steal from one another; with
excessive litigation.
* Honesty means that there is less need for increased
government intervention with business. An organiza-
tion's reputation is an asset. If a business breaches
community values, costs and sanctions may show up
in the marketplace or in increased regulations.
* Ethical decisions reduce liabilities for an organization.
* Ethical decisions reduce pressures on individuals.
An ethical culture is a less stressful culture.
* Bosses with a reputation for integrity will attract
good people to their employ. The cost of recruiting
will be lower.
* Trust in fair leadership will increase employee
motivation.
