Hypocrisy rife in company ethics
Article Abstract:
An Industrial Society survey of UK managers indicates ethical standards are considered important but often are not upheld in practice. Employee grievance procedures, handling customer complaints, promoting safety measures and, most prominently, fostering respect for employees are all cited as examples of ethical management. Almost 70% of those surveyed cited a gap between ethical theory and actual policy decisions. Ethical standards have become more important as companies increasingly rely on employee handbooks, ethical codes, and surveys to convey ethical principles.
