Focus on Healthy Workplaces-Ethical Congruence

• Ethical consistency or ethical congruence is not about ethics and certainly not about morality. It is about the consistent and fair application of policies to all team members.
• When team members believe their are dual standards, unfairness, lack of consistent enforcement or favoritism, morale will be substantially harmed.
• Avoid making policy exceptions because of who someone is or because they happen to be a favored team member.
• Senior leaders especially must be consistent and great role models for this behavior.
• Take special care to ensure you are not creating any appearance of impropriety or favoritism.
