- Ethical Diversity in the Workplace
For most of us, the principles of good or bad ethics may seem like a pretty easy concept to understand. Right is right and wrong is wrong…right? But who's to say what's right and what's wrong? Whose ethical standards should we accept? Once you think about it, ethics seems much more complicated than your mother's warnings about what "good little children do." At work, we need to come to a common understanding of what "big people do" so we can work in harmony and be productive workers. With the question of right and wrong unsettled, coming to a common understanding of ethical issues can be confusing.
The average workplace is a pretty diverse place. You'll find people from every kind of background working together. A culturally diverse workforce is a good thing. Talking about the best that people have to offer from different cultural backgrounds and experiences sounds good, but can you have ethical diversity?
As far as most companies go, ethical diversity is not the kind of diversity they have in mind. The workplace has all sorts of rules, standards, policies, procedures, and codes of conduct that spell out plainly and simply what is good or bad ethics. "It's my way or the highway." Of course, this lack of appreciation for diverse ethical points of view solves the philosophical debate about right and wrong. As far as ethics in the workplace goes, the more homogeneous the better. Rather than feeling restrained and stifled, you should understand how this works in everyone's favor.
The ethics of the work world parallels our societal moral standards of right and wrong. Lying, cheating, and stealing are wrong. Telling the truth, showing respect, and working hard is good. This is a common-sense approach to ethics. Despite what cynics say, honesty is still the best policy. It's a good thing this has stood the test of time. It benefits you, your coworkers, your friends, your family, and your company. Our whole civilized society is based on these fundamental, common sense principles of ethics.
