Business ethics, occupational health and safety
Business ethics check moral norms that arise in the field of public and private companies. Applies to all behaviors and outlines a framework of values \u200b\u200bthat become the code of conduct to be followed by member companies at all levels, customers, suppliers and service providers.
The negotiations with government bodies, behaviors and decisions are related to corporate ethics as it becomes a discipline that determines the hows and whys, is present in areas relevant to any organization, presents guidelines and values Governing the task and the way we do business.
begin this 2011, we warmly share with you which is the year of ethics and safety. This initiative is very important, I think it is an invitation to all major corporations in Mexico, SMEs, shareholders and stakeholders, to live with a code of ethics that applies not only at work but it can go to our homes and generate even greater benefits for us in the business.
ethics tell us what are the virtues that should prevail in an institution to ensure a moral and responsible behavior in its members. However, we must be careful, we live today misunderstood ethics that reflects the double standard with which we are going socially. Overlapping ethics by silence and convenience where many things are permitted if no one finds out.
believe that corporate ethics is to list and publish a set of values, which employees learn the fate of repeaters memory experts, but without reason. The values \u200b\u200bcan only learn by experience and perception of fruit in the everyday. These should permeate downward, that is, managers have a fundamental role in the dissemination of ethical culture and be an example to follow.
ethical management systems are not implemented properly because sometimes mean, that management changes are difficult to make because it touches their behavior often leads them to question or acts or actions that are reprehensible and so viciously is customary practice, so the anti-value custom made from the highest levels became a problem of complex solution, but not impossible.
a real and effective ethical management system, provides more advantages than disadvantages in the first place is not wasted. A company that recognizes and practices the values \u200b\u200bof honesty, responsibility, loyalty, respect, compassion, tolerance and justice, among many others, is a company that values \u200b\u200bits employees, that takes care of security, providing jobs appropriate conditions and equipment appropriate personal protection for each risk present in the company. It is a company designed to prevent, educate and care for its people, who are also responsible for their health and safety that respect and care begins with oneself.
The responsible corporate citizen, provide social security to their workers, verify their claims indicators to assess the effectiveness of best practice, work, and encourages the development of ergonomic work areas and focuses on prevention and health promotion and security within and outside their facilities.
Business Ethics is to protect injured employees and see the accident as a constructive event that should not happen again, as a learning opportunity where everyone is responsible, is unethical and irresponsible to think that the whole responsibility for the accident falls on the worker, even more reprehensible that run it.
Business Ethics is to meet legal standards, to maintain sustainable growth and avoid dishonest practices, care supply chains and create a management system and reporting of violations of its code in either the company or to providers to ensure such compliance .
The ethical company is committed to environmental and social causes, manages equity, is free of addictions, anti-harassment, discrimination and violence in all its forms within and outside their facilities.
On the other hand, the employee with a clear ethical code, is the place to be on time, fulfill their duties, respect your co-workers, take care of your tools and use protective equipment, is honest, respectful and productive with a sense of loyalty and belonging to the company.
Today more than ever we think about the importance of ethics and safety in enterprises. We are betting on employment generation in the area of \u200b\u200bthe maquiladora industry. But this, instead of being a source of employment is producing large numbers of people sick from bad workstation designed, noise exposure and other occupational risk factors, strenuous working hours, schedules that disrupt sleep patterns and obesity vigil with their
complications ... Are we creating jobs or unemployment? Do we know the cost to be serious damage to our population in active age? Have we prepared self-employment opportunities? Does our health system infrastructure to meet and make an early diagnosis to all these people?.
We're seeing the serious crisis faced by companies to recruit. A significant proportion of job seekers have a medical condition that prevents them from get a job, so there was only underemployment, crime or begging, if you can not resort to self-employment. Many of these conditions result from a poor culture of prevention, to see ergonomics and safety as a waste, because wing lack of awareness and ethics of business leaders. Not to do something we will be a country of sick people without quality of life and without access to social security or a dignified old age.
lives the values \u200b\u200bof your company ... Take care of your people ... go safety and prevention as a priority and universal values.
