Business Ethics
Business Ethics is the set standards, laws, guidelines, and principles that the business organization follows and applies to gain public approval. The guidelines are moral, and the individuals in the business organization use them to conduct themselves acceptably. When the business environment is safe, then it is considered to have and following the ethical requirements, but when the business organization is unsafe, they are generally considered not having ethics. The custom, rules, and attitudes in the business environment detect ethical behavior in the same organization. All business organizations have policies and practices to follow in their day-to-day activities within and outside the organization (Davani). The implementation of ethics in business organizations enable them to run the business with no problems or controversy. In the 1960s, various business companies discovered a rising consumer-based society that focused on the company’s environment, social causes, and corporate responsibility. Since then, the organization finds a need to come up with business ethics that help them create a good environment with their consumers.
My intended future career is dental hygiene. It is the practice of keeping the teeth, mouth, and gum healthy and clean to prevent diseases. I love to work in dental hygiene to ensure that all the people surrounding me adhere to the importance of oral hygiene and regular check up to prevent dental diseases and bad breath (Fried et al.). To be able to work well in my career, business ethics must guide me and enable me to understand what is right and wrong. Business ethics is the key in all the business organization, and it will allow me to have more customers and every client get the satisfaction.
Some of the business ethics issues that I need to know about and enable me to make my future career in dental hygiene include discrimination and harassment. The laws require each business organization to give equal employment opportunities to all employees. Unfortunately, they are discriminated against in the workplace because of their gender, race, age, ethnicity, and disability. Some business companies fail to observe the ethical practice of treating all the employees in an equal manner (Kabeyi, 374). People face discrimination in the workplace by not giving an opportunity to present what they have in making sure that the company’s goals are met; they are not given promotions or bonuses in their workplaces. Understanding this issue, I will make sure that in the future, as dental hygiene, I will make sure that all the employees in the organization are treated equally.
Another business ethical issue that arises in the workplace is bribery and corruption. When the persons in the organization accept the bribe and corruption in favor of something. For example, you are receiving bribery to employ someone in your organization without meeting the job requirements. It is a big issue in various business organizations, and there is no development because of not having ethics (Kabeyi, 379). Failing to accept bribery and ending the organization’s corruption, the business will prosper, and the company will realize more profit. When I started my career in the future, I will make sure that all the ethical principles are considered, and when you break them, you face the consequences.
