ASSIGNMENT No. 1
Answer:
Yes, in most
cases businesses will combine both of these documents into one as there is significant
overlap between them. It is rare to find businesses that have two separate
policies.
Whilst they are
technically different documents, employees will have less difficulty recalling important
points around conduct and ethics if they have a single document to refer to.
Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct
Sample Template:
1. Be inclusive.
We welcome and
support people of all backgrounds and identities. This includes, but is not limited
to members of any sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, race,
ethnicity, culture, national origin, social and economic class, educational level,
color, immigration status, sex, age, size, family status, political belief,
religion, and mental and physical ability.
2. Be considerate.
We all depend on
each other to produce the best work we can as a company. Your decisions will
affect clients and colleagues, and you should take those consequences into
account when making decisions.
3. Be respectful.
We won't all
agree all the time, but disagreement is no excuse for disrespectful behavior.
We will all experience frustration from time to time, but we cannot allow that
frustration become personal attacks. An environment where people feel
uncomfortable or threatened is not a productive or creative one.
4. Choose your words carefully.
Always conduct
yourself professionally. Be kind to others. Do not insult or put down others. Harassment
and exclusionary behavior aren't acceptable. This includes, but is not limited
to:
•
Threats of violence.
•
Insubordination.
•
Discriminatory jokes and language.
•
Sharing sexually explicit or violent material
via electronic devices or other means.
•
Personal insults, especially those using racist
or sexist terms.
•
Unwelcome sexual attention.
•
Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above
behavior.
5. Don't harass.
In general, if
someone asks you to stop something, then stop. When we disagree, try to understand
why. Differences of opinion and disagreements are mostly unavoidable. What is important
is that we resolve disagreements and differing views constructively.
6. Make differences into strengths.
We can find
strength in diversity. Different people have different perspectives on issues,
and that can be valuable for solving problems or generating new ideas. Being
unable to understand why someone holds a viewpoint doesn’t mean that they’re
wrong. Don’t forget that we all make mistakes and blaming each other doesn’t
get us anywhere.
