Ethics, Morals and Culture Diversity

This week class were learned about culture diversity in the work place. How work ethics differ in each generation. Before this I can honestly say I never really thought of a work place as a diverse culture. I have always looked at it as we’re all working on the same team for the same goal. Now I have a better understanding on how ethics, moral values effects the work place. I learned that each generation has its strength and weakness. It is important that each generation learn from others and pass on those skills so this not lost. When I took the leadership assessment the areas I was low gender egalitarianism and assertiveness. Gender equality, also known as sex equality, gender egalitarianism, sexual equality, or equality of the genders, is the view that everyone should receive equal treatment and not be discriminated against based on their gender. Never taught I had any problem in the areas I scored a Five. I was curious so I looked six ways to fix gender inequality at work.

1.    Rethink job interviews. Make sure everyone men or women are ask the same question and offered the same salary 

2.    Make gender equality part of training and education

3.    Be proactive about welcoming women.

4.    Make flexibility and work-life balance a part of the wider company culture.

5.    Don’t limit your talent pool. Aim for a 50-50 gender split in all their teams

6    Use the power of networking. Networking, mentoring and coaching opportunities can help women build confidence and develop their careers.

As for leadership assertiveness, I don’t really agree with the test on that. I truly believe it all depend on the situation. I learned that the development of ethics and moral are vital to any origination. Diversity is the key to success. There are over 6,000 languages spoken in the world today, many of which are spoken by fewer than a few hundred people. The top 10 or 12 languages however make up the vast majority of all of the speakers in the world. All business should make the attempt to bridge the langue gap.

My Quote for the week is

The beauty of the world lies in the diversity of its people
