Personal Statement: My Personal Code Of Work Ethics

Everyone has different values, beliefs and preferences. What you believe in, what you see as important and what you see as acceptable or desirable is an essential part of who you are.

A code of ethics is defined as a set of principles, values, beliefs, and rules that define the conduct of a person. This helps a person to determine the correct behaviors that should be expressed in every moment of his/her life as well as analyze what is good or bad in present.

Analyze three of the punishments that corporations undergo when they have acted unethically (i.e., name them, define them, explain what they are). In addition, explain three threats to running an ethical corporation. Finally, from your own perspective, explain whether or not a corporation should have to function by the same codes of morality that individual people in society have to abide by or if they should be allowed to get away with certain actions that people in society cannot get away with.

It has gotten a little easier the further I get into my internship recognizing my personal values when it comes to my clients. My social worker and I were called out to an investigation regarding a woman apparently living in a shed with her three children. During the investigation the social worker and I performed a safety checklist of the home (shed). The home did not possess a legal power source, water supply or indoor plumbing. Meanwhile, the checklist was performed within the home, as we stepped into the home, it was determined that the home was not the most conventional home. Although this family’s home was less than perfect the social worker and I advocated for the services to help this family stay together. As this investigation came to an end for the day, I talked to my supervisor about the case. I was surprised to learn that due to the fact that the family had access to all the resources their home did not have it was acceptable for the social worker to leave the children with their mother. The social worker informed the client she needed to make some changes to

In my code of ethics the primary principles are integrity, respect, and empathy. I have always lived my life based off of theses three principles. Sometimes it feels challenging to live by these principles, but I always remember what my parents have taught me and I get motivated to keep living off these principles. My parent’s happiness matters a lot to me and that helps me stay motivated. I would never do something that would upset my parents or make them ashamed of me. They have given me everything I ever needed in life and taught me everything I know today. My decision making process revolves around how I feel about a particular situation because every situation has a different solution. So my decision making process is Intuitive because it depends on my perspective on that particular situation. My decision-making comes natural when I am put in a situation to make a decision. Also making my parent proud and respecting them helps me stays motivated to do the right things and follow my personal principles of integrity, respect, and empathy.

I, Rob Geis, commit myself to the code and values that I am about to describe. As a person I have vast life experiences that have affected who I am and what I believe in. As a Public Relations professional it seems that our industry is often under ridicule for being unethical and known as spin doctors. As an ethical student and person I consider these key values as guiding stones to my applied ethical choices. Family, friends, school and religion have all made me the person I am today and influence my ethical choices.

Values and morals are an integral part of life; values define who we are on a personal and professional level. My personal and professional values are similar but are used differently on a personal and professional level. In this code of ethics I have identified my core values as respect, honesty, loyalty, integrity, professionalism, and responsibility. Developing a code of ethics has provided me with an opportunity to reflect on my values and evaluate how I turn those values into action.

In reviewing your personal and professional values, what surprised you, and what helped you affirm your beliefs?

Values and ethics are one of the most important characteristic of an individual. They basically define who we are and what we believe. There are many factors that determine our values and ethics. Culture, religion, and many other factors affect our beliefs. Many times are values and ethics can clash with different people who hold different views and beliefs. This doesn't mean our values or ethics are wrong it just means we think differently than others. Most people have a good sense of ethics and values. Knowing between right and wrong is a good foundation to practicing good ethics and morals.

Growing up in a religious background, my Catholic beliefs reflect and shape my own personal values. As a Catholic, I was taught to always respect your elders, treat others as how you would like to be treated, never put anyone’s name in vain, distinguish right from wrong, and work for the common good. By these codes of ethics, I have always believed in and live by. My parents played an important role in developing my values of Respect, Integrity, Humility, Trust, Accountability and Responsibility. Through their actions and hardships, they expressed their struggles they faced leaving their country and coming to the United States in order to provide their family with more opportunities and a better life. Both my parents were born in poverty and in a corrupt government. They both have strong religious background, where religion is their force and motivation to never give up and to keep moving forward through the struggles. From their story, it set an example for me on how to live life and that I should never take anything for granted in life. I am grateful from where I come from and who I am. My actions make me who I am and it is important for me to always do the right actions. This applies in both my personal and professional life. The major aspect I learned is that nothing in life is permanent and live life to the fullest. I will never take failure personal and will not let it dictate my life.

Leading by example is important to me and I share my personal Code of Conduct with all new hires so they know what to expect from me. I tell them to let me know any time I am not meeting my own expectations, and leading by example is the first bullet point of my code. Being trustworthy and fair are the next two bullet points which shows that I am in sync with HMSA’s values, as I wrote this code many years ago. Staying true to my code ensures that we treat each other and our members with respect and care at all times. This is evident in our 5 Star Yelp rating and the many compliments we receive for the team

In this season of my life, I find myself residing in the most opportune time to reflect on my managerial competencies, as my surrounding environment in which I now lead and manage, has taken a dramatic shift. The eight roles identified by the Competing Values Framework that are essential for effective management, do not make the smoothest transition from a multi until store manager in a retail environment, to a Director of Children’s Ministry in a religious institution. The competencies in which I excelled in Corporate America, I find are not the strengths I need to tap into to find success in my new role. Therefore, in order to achieve the vision of what comparable success is in my new role, I need to build on my competencies that display weakness in regards to the Competing Values Framework that will be the defining factor of my success or failure.

As a forty-two-year-old mother of two and a wife for the second time, I experienced a variety of positive life adventures, satisfying life learning experiences, and heartbreaking turmoil; which have all formed me into the strong, independent, and determined woman that I am today. God has blessed me with my second chance at life and I am honored for the opportunity to attend nursing school at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (S.I.U.E.).

My personal values act as a basis for determining right and wrong in my daily life. My life, my parents, my husband and my children have all played valuable roles in the development of my core values. The following is an ever changing personal ethics creed, that I plan on using to help guide me in my endeavors.

My personal mission is to constantly strive to be the best overall person that I can be within my personal and professional life. My goals are to inspire and help others and myself around me to achieve greatness and a balance that will maximize our potential that will transcend the boundaries of our dreams.
