Organizational Ethics Issue

ResolutionAll organizations are faced with ethical dilemmas and issues that could affect the operations and productivity. For these organizations to be successful, they need to be able to identify and resolve ethical issues that arise in the workplace. Resolving ethical issues within the organization takes patience, cooperation, communication, the ability to listen, and act on the resolution. Managers have to adequately communicate to their employees what the manager is expecting from them and how they should behave when an ethical situation arises. Ethical issues can destroy an organization if they are not acted upon with a strong approach. One very touchy ethical issue that can be an issue to an organization is in discriminating against others based on race or sex.

Ethical issue resolution is not always simple and may take time to resolve. All managers should be trained in the necessary steps that are a must in resolving an issue that could be problematic to the reputation or ethics of an organization.
