Business Ethics

My name is Emad A. Rahim. The purpose of this blogg is to offer people an opportunity to share information and knowledge on the subject of business ethics. As a young minority professional working with a diverse/ multicultural population, I find that many people’s understanding of ethics are tangled in a web of confusion that is mixed with personal values, faith, culture and education. This is a forum to disclose my experience and obtain feedback and insight. visit me: www.hsaofcny.org

Just The Other Day

A few days ago I overheard a conversation between two young ladies concerning the behavior of what appears to be a boyfriend. It was not my intention to eavesdrop, but my presence in the location was required and their conversation was loud. The behavior of the boy in question was told in graphic detail. Their opinions of the boy was also graphic, but usual. It became clear towards the end of their conversation that they were referring to a client at their place of employment, and not a boyfriend.

These two young ladies obviously worked for the same company and knew the same person (client), but neither one of them was upholding the confidential bylaws for their company and client. This was not a conversation that reelected an innocent crush, but a detail/ graphic/ distasteful and unprofessional gossip. It was unprofessional and unethical!

What is your response? Was it their age, gender, company, generation or all together?

    It goes back to age and parenting. Ethics are apart of value which is taught by our families. We have to teach communities what family values are and how it ties into ethics because the parents are not.
