My Honesty Is The Bedrock Of My Ethics

My ethics are being developed daily, in the light of my youth; ethics for me are ever changing as I experience the world with its broad diversity in people beliefs and cultures. Seeing as my family does not actively practice a religion, I have relied on the environment and my family to help me develop a particular set of ethics that I adhere to. My family is the bedrock of my ethical development as they have by far had the most significant influence on me. From a young age, my parents ingrained into me four basic ideas that I base my ethics on today. These beliefs which I hold so dear are honesty, keeping my word, loyalty, and respect.

Honest individuals that makeup business benefits the workplace environment, but most importantly it honors the mission the businesses is intended to serve. There will become a joint understanding and trust between producers, retailers, and consumers. Keeping my word contributes to my self-worth and integrity. A promise is only as credible as the person making it. My coworkers and clients are counting on me and my integrity when I say I will complete something or make something happen then it will be done, no excuses. Loyalty in the workplace is key to ethical business. Loyal connections benefit both parties in business. When becoming an employee I will want to work for a loyal employer. In return this will inspire me to work harder in order to maintain this loyal relationship with my employer and co workers, I would hope that customers would recognize the loyalty in our business and appreciate it, and then will remain loyal to our business that they see us as reliable and dependable.
