It's widely agreed that every company needs to have a policy statement on legal and ethical code of conduct. The Organizational Sentencing Guidelines require a company to "have taken steps to communicate effectively its standards and procedures to all employees and other agents, e.g., by requiring participation in code of conduct training courses or by disseminating publications that explain in a practical manner what is required." Thus, if a company hopes to qualify for more lenient treatment under the Guidelines in the event of employee or corporate misconduct, having, disseminating and enforcing Code of Conduct policies are essential.
Think about it—in most companies, a new employee is given a copy of the Code of Conduct employee manual on his or her first day of work, signs the acknowledgment page, and puts the Code of Conduct guidelines in a bottom desk drawer, never to be opened again. But if legal or ethical issues arise down the road, what standard of conduct will the company be held to? Enacting a formal Code of Conduct training policy helps your company respond and avoid significant ethical issues that may arise in the workplace.
