ETHICS

Decision-Making Processes

The systems that ensure that your workforce is acting with your organization’s best interest and corporate compliance in mind. When we engage in unethical behavior, it is often due to a lack of processes steering us away from that course of action.

Norms & Practices

This goes beyond the norms and practices of the individuals within an organization. It means developing systematic processes that are actually inline with your mission and values statement.

Workplace Social Indicators™ Culture Diagnostic Tool | Ethics

Accountability

When decision makers adhere to the specific guidelines the organization has laid forth, they are holding themselves accountable. Ethical and fair behavior trickles down the organizational ladder, so it needs to start with the folks at the top.

Trust

This is the confidence and comfort in a person or organization that supports innovation, authentic communication and good teamwork. When employees feel supported by their company, they are free to truly excel in their field.

RESPECT

In-Group/Out-Group Dynamics

This is the degree that ‘us vs. them’ mentality and behaviors drive employee acceptance, inclusion, and perceived value. In-group behaviors alienate employees and thwart productive behavior. Strong, positive cultural norms can combat these dynamics.

Power Dynamics

This refers to the ways that power and influence are used or abused at an organization. Unhealthy power disparities or hierarchies can cause employees not in power to feel constrained from speaking their mind or contributing potentially beneficial ideas. Managers play a key role in establishing healthy power dynamics.

Workplace Social Indicators™ Culture Diagnostic Tool | Respect

Norms & Practices

Not just what is communicated, but what people actually do; what is acceptable workplace behavior and what is not.

Unconscious Bias

Unconscious biases are learned stereotypes that we unknowingly allow to form judgments that then shape our interactions with others. These biases are assumptions rooted in human characteristics such as race, socioeconomic standing, age, or gender and, at best, deepen in-group/out-group divides. At their worst, unconscious biases impact workplace diversity and prevent the most qualified individuals from climbing the corporate ladder.

Social Aptitude

The ability to recognize and negotiate the social dynamics of the workplace. Strong social intelligence quotients drive positive decision making, improve lines of communication, and solidify interpersonal relationships. Poor social intelligence skills lead to lower levels of trust and respect amongst colleagues and cause certain employees to feel uncomfortable at work.

Pre-Existing Mindsets

These are the values, behaviors, and learned beliefs that we bring to work with us. Unlike unconscious biases, these mindsets actively affect how we work with other people and shape our impressions of culture issues. For example, left to their own devices, one persons definition of sexual harassment may differ from their coworkers and those assumptions influence how they behave at the office.

INCLUSION

Decision-Making Process

This is the presence, or lack thereof, of an internal system for making decisions. By installing procedures based on measurable insights, organizational goals can be reached with equity in mind. Firm decision making schematics will ensure fair hiring practices, provide data driven insights into performance, and streamline work processes.

Valuing Differences

This is the ability to go beyond acknowledging and accepting one another’s differences, but actually seeing the value that diversity adds to teams. By appreciating and leveraging our varied experiences and skills, we open up new doors for innovation and team building.

Allyship

This involves using your privilege to make a difference for those who do not have the same opportunities. Allyship means speaking up for those who may not feel that they have a voice, and shrinking the gap between decision makers and people who are affected by those decisions.

Demographic Experience

This is the experience gained by interacting with people from different demographics. As we deepen our understanding of the people around us, we become stronger problem solvers, team members, and leaders.

Curiosity & Empathy

Curiosity means turning your assumptions into questions and switching your perspective. And empathy is not the ability to relate to our coworkers, it is the ability to understand them when we cannot relate. This fosters inclusion because it opens lines of communication and deepens our understanding of one another.

Authenticity & Belonging

This is the ability to bring your whole self to work. Energy spent pretending to be something we are not is energy wasted. So allowing and encouraging people to be their authentic selves provides them with more time to do the work that they showed up to do.
