Introduction
Think back to the first day you started at your job, were you
nervous? Did you know what to do or how to act? Most people
know how to act, but what should a company do to ensure all
their employees are on the same page with how to act? The
answer is issuing a code of conduct.
Purpose of a Code of Conduct
First we have to ask ourselves, what is a code of conduct? A
code of conduct is “ a written document called a code of
conduct, or code of ethics, that sets the tone of core values and
ethical guidelines for employees. This document will establish
the guiding principles of behaviors and decision making of all
employees” (Board, 2015). In establishing a code of conduct,
companies are giving their employees a physical document to
check their behavior to the employer’s expected standard. This
will help employees determine if their behavior is ethical or
unethical and should help reduce the number of instances of
unethical behavior.
Why is it Important to Have a Code of Conduct?
A code of conduct is important for many reasons. If your
company is public, it is by law required to have one. “ A well-
written code of conduct
clarifies an organization’s mission, values and principles
, linking them with standards of professional conduct” (ECI,
2018). “Additionally, a code is a
central guide and reference for employees
to support day-to-day decision making” (ECI, 2018). A
company’s code of conduct is important for internal decisions

2. and day to day operations, but also externally it allows
customers, investors, and anyone else who views the company
to understand the behaviors, guidelines, expectations, and
vision of the company. A company with a strong ethical code
of conduct will likely have success over the long term wi th
fewer incidents and will be highly regarded in the community
over a company that lacks or has a weak code of conduct.
Issues to Address in a Code of Conduct
There are many things that should be covered in a code of
conduct. Since there will be so many things covered, and
employers want their employees to understand what they are
stating, they need to, “ Create the code of conduct with
language that is as clear as possible. Examples may include
prohibitions on illegal activities, smoking, drinking, foul
language, discrimination and harassment. You may also include
confidentiality expectations, procedures for calling in sick,
expected dress and appearance and reporting procedures for
emergency situations. (McKay, 2018). From previous
experience, the companies I have worked for have had codes of
conduct that include, tobacco use, drug policies, dress code,
expected behavior inside work, expected behavior outside of
work, attendance policies, sexual harassment clauses, and many
others. It is a basically guideline of how to look, feel, and act.
Evaluate a Code of Conduct
The company I currently work for has a very detailed code of
conduct. It address sick leave, vacation, excused absences,
unexcused absences, FMLA, dress code, drug policy, sexual
harassment policy, discrimination policy, expected behaviors
inside and outside of work, and many other subjects. Spirit
employees almost 14,000 people at locations throughout the
world, so as a result they have written a very detailed and
extensive code of conduct to try and eliminate any gray areas or

3. areas that haven’t been covered that could leave the employees
or the company vulnerable. This is a great policy to me because
everyone has the same information and is put on a level playing
field. I have been treated with more dignity and respect at this
company than any I have ever worked at before which in turn
has made me buy into the company’s values and want to work
even harder. It has made me feel like I have found my career
home rather than just working a job.
Conclusion
Writing a code of conduct can be time consuming as it must
cover as many possible aspects as leadership can think of.
However, this might be one of the most important things a
company can do. Internally it shows the vision and expectation
the company has, externally it helps build a reputation in the
community and the world. A positive strong code of conduct
will help lay a strong foundation for a company to succeed.
