Corporate Policies

Create organizational practices that embody the ethos and ethical perspectives of the organization.

For good reason, organizational culture is one of the hottest subjects these days. Techfite fosters communities that are congruent with our fundamental beliefs and requirements. The regulations listed below are in order to protect workers’ rights as well as the organization’s goals.

Per employee is respected at Techfite. We make it so that all employees have the freedom to build an atmosphere that they enjoy.

To ensure that initiatives that are economically and environmentally responsible are undertaken and carried out. By developing a yearly plan for contributing back to society. Explain the rationale behind the policies including how they align with the organizational culture. The explanation should include three supporting examples.

These are the policies that rank first amongst our organizational cultures. Techfite Company always ensures it provides smart, competitive and satisfactory wages to the employees. A lot of facilities and amenities are given to the workers according to the policy. The structure of how the wages are provided can be described as Blue collar employees (sales associates) should be paid wages along with commission pursuing a particular criterion. The officers and the executives (white collar employees) are entitled to a handsome amount salary with several incentives entitled to them (Alvesson, Mats, and Sveningsson 64-67). We also plan to implement environmentally friendly practices through rebuilding of the city of Delberg using environmentally friendly techniques and to ensure that we socially responsible by donating and supporting local leadership programs

Analyze the ethical issues at stake in the scenario (for example conflict of interest misuse of resources whistleblowing) and distinguish them from legal matters.

What distinguishes legal and ethical issues stems from the division between the core areas of law and ethics. The law entirely dictates what people can do or cannot do. Ethics, on the other hand, are moral standards that determine what people should or should not do. In most cases, legal regulations hinder people from carrying out certain tasks like administering lifesaving support, whistleblowing that is morally permissible actions.

Conflict of interest is an example of an ethical issue that brings controversy concerning law and ethics. One may have a spouse or a family member that is indirect reporting relationship with you. In other cases, you might have the ability to supervise or influence the job evaluation pay or benefits or hiring any spouse or family member who also works at the company. Many people will be tempted and consider the favoring of their partners to be the morally correct course of action while the law prohibits such kind of actions.

Describe the role of ethics officer in implementing and monitoring the policy created in part A to ensure compliance.

The ethics officers are advised to listen carefully and frequently compliment the employees. It is recommended that they give the employees the opportunity to tell on themselves if something has gone wrong. The officers should never pretend to be experts in everything; their role is to ensure the employees do what they had promised they’d do.

To spread the values of the corporation throughout the organization and to protect the employees who speak up. Since open communication is paramount, the ethical officer should be concerned with what the employees are thinking and uphold the issues raised by each one of them

Reflecting on the approaches the officer tried and didn’t work, it is wise to trust everyone to do the right thing. The ethical officer doesn’t necessarily have to be a cop to ensure the moral values are implemented. They should expect several cases of where people act unethically because they can find loopholes in almost everything.

Describe corporate social responsibility and how it applies in the scenario

Corporate social responsibility can be defined as the business practices that involve initiatives that benefit he society. The CSR of a particular business can encompass various tactics such as giving away a portion of the company’s products to charity or implementing environmentally friendly business operations. Techfite plans to take part in supporting leadership programs

Describe an ethical and socially responsible course of action to address the business challenge based on the company’s culture core values.

Undertaking socially responsible activities is indeed a win-win situation. Not only will the techfite company appeal to the consumers and employees but also make a real difference in the world (Hogan, Suellen and Leonard, 1609-1621).

. We acknowledge the importance of engaging the employees in giving back and making them feel they have a voice and also the inclusion of the community members to take part in these activities. Given their power and sheer size our company can solve significant social problems and have an enormous impact.

In CSR transparency and honesty is paramount to earning the trust from the public trust. Therefore, the commitments such a sponsoring community events invest in infrastructure to assist in the rebuilding of the city of Delberg using environmentally friendly techniques and to support leadership programs that were mentioned during the company’s presentation to the Delberg city council should be put into action. The wages, weekly hours and benefits of the employees that drastically fell need to be rectified.

Explain how the course of action from part B is ethical, socially and environmentally responsible.

One of the main emphasis of corporate social responsibility is the adoption of greener initiatives. Steps were taken by any organization to reduce the footprints it produces an advantage to both the company and the society at large. Therefore, the investment in infrastructure to assist in rebuilding the city of Delberg using environmentally friendly techniques is a big step. Doing great deeds such as the support of leadership programs without expecting anything in return, expresses the company concern for specific issues. Creating policies that will promote fair treatment of the employees is also a way of demonstrating the corporate social responsibility (Ostroff and Mathis Schulte 2014)
