Hi, everyone.
It's time for our lesson on maintaining integrity and
moral code in this communication lesson of English for Finance and Economics.
Remember when Elizabeth tells Catherine that the same company
offers another tooling option that's substantially cheaper?
And also tells her that she doesn't need to put that in her report.
Didn't that make you say wait a minute,
there is something seriously wrong with that.
Well, in today's lesson we will talk about what integrity is,
the importance of maintaining integrity, and a high moral code in the workplace,
and the ramifications of going along when something just isn't right.
Let's brainstorm a little.
What do you think about when you hear or see the word integrity?
Some people might relate this word to doing the right thing,
especially when it comes to decisions that involve confidentiality and trust.
According to the article Examples of Integrity in the Workplace by Sheri Scott
from Deman Media, integrity involves moral judgement and
character, honesty and leadership values.
And individuals who show integrity in the workplace,
not only understand right from wrong, but they practice it in all they do.
Sheri Scott also explains why this is beneficial to a business.
And if you think about it, this can only not only make the workplace better, but
it can also help business professionals maintain great relationships of trust,
which can lead to continuous business with other parties.
So needless to say, integrity plays a big role in business, but why is it important?
Well, there are many professional situations where we have to
maintain our integrity and make the right decision.
This is the time where we must hold true to our own values and moral code.
But I will ask again, why?
Not only does it give credibility and an honest reputation for your company, but
it allows you to sleep better at night.
