Workplace Honor Code

Workplace Honor Code explores the evolution of workplace ethics, from informal agreements to complex compliance policies, examining the impact on ethical conduct. The formalization of ethics, intended for transparency, has potentially diluted individual moral responsibility. The book argues for a shift from mere compliance to valuing ethical character.

The book traces the development of workplace ethics across three sections. It begins by defining "ethics as a craft," shaped by mentorship and reputation. It then examines the rise of formal ethics policies, including corporate codes of conduct and legislation. Finally, it explores the consequences of formalization, such as "box-checking" ethics, and suggests strategies for revitalizing individual ethical responsibility, making it valuable for HR professionals.

Drawing insights from business history, legal case studies, and surveys, the book highlights the transition from handshake deals to formalized ethics policies, revealing how businesses define and enforce ethical standards. It uniquely views ethics as a skill to be cultivated, not just a set of rules, encouraging a more engaged approach to ethical decision-making and ethical leadership.
