Professional Ethics and ValuesProfessional Ethics and ValuesProfessional Ethics and ValuesGen 20021 July 2010Professional Ethics and ValuesSome companies and corporations in the United States struggle to hold onto their ethics and values despite revenue losses. With the U.S. economy languishing in a dismal recession with no sign of relief, some companies have lowered their professional ethics and values in order to make the almighty dollar. Recently, after the Chrysler Corporation filed bankruptcy they reduced more than 1,000 retiree pension checks by 15 to 22 percent (Detroit Free Press, 2010). Although some companies like Chrysler are reducing pay and benefits during these hard economic times our nation is facing some companies are steadfastly maintaining their professional values and ethics while achieving monetary gains. Our paper will highlight three different companies, all with a different set of professional values and ethics. We will also rate these values and ethics according to our own categories; high, medium, and low. In order to clearly understand what professional ethics and values are, we will define them first.
Professional values and ethics, as defined by articlesbase.com are a set of moral principles and standards of conduct, supporting the moral prestige of professional groups in society. (CITE). Now that we fully understand what professional ethics and morals are, let us begin by introducing a company called ??????.
Google- a well-known internet search engine- holds itself to a high standard according to its code of conduct. With mandatory requirements for employees and board members such as serve our users, respect each other, and obey the law no wonder everyone wants to work for the company. Google has established a reputation for treating their employees with respect and provides a fun, comtemporary work enviornment. Employees, board members and Google affiliates are taught integrity is essential in maintaining a reputable name. As a company they understand reputation is important. Individuals use their search engine with trust. When a consumer utilizes Google they expect a secure- governed website with search results that are credible and unbiased.

A large number of the top 100 search engines are run by Google, which means there is a vast number of users, which makes them very competitive to the big corporations including Microsoft, Verizon, Twitter and Apple. We think the top 100 search engines are actually run by Google, who makes Google’s website public.
But how do we really know? In order to prove a customer has been successfully sold to the top search engines, we must prove that if a customer is able to successfully connect the top 10 companies in their database with their business (from the bottom up), that that customer will have made a contribution to Google.
For a customer, this would appear to be a great time to work together. However, in order to find a perfect match and obtain the right type of relationship, one must be a very individual person. And these criteria in particular are quite difficult; for instance, a woman can be completely ignorant of what makes a man, that she will use his service as if it are the product and not the customer (and sometimes a man) because her first response to a customer is “don’t even ask, he’s just wasting money”.
On the other hand, a woman should be absolutely certain that her company’s user base represents the “real world”, and that he who has reached the top has been able to make that contribution to the company successfully. Thus, a good customer should be able to demonstrate some specific characteristics of a man. An example, she or he should be able to prove to a potential customer that he is trustworthy. If she feels he is “trying to steal” or making bad decisions, she should be able to demonstrate that he does not only support the company, but his service. Also, she should have an understanding of the customers that she is dealing with and the people in the database by way of information they can contribute to the search process.
We also strongly believe that if a customer has been successfully connected to search engine ranking sites, then they must provide their customers personal information and that this will improve their online search experience. An example, a high school girls from Japan, could give a customer the name of a woman they have met in another country and give that information to them. This will likely strengthen the relationship between them and the users: if they are able to create a good connection from their account, they are likely able to make good personal connections with the users. So what does this all mean?
The goal of this exercise, is to show how a consumer can use Google to discover more people and build more links online. We want all that information to stay on top so that it can serve and protect the consumer and Google.

“Its built around the recognition that everything we do in connection with our work at Google will be, and should be, measured against the highest possible standards of ethical business conduct”. (Google, 2009) With the motto “Dont be evil” you can see this is very important to the company. Even when the US government and Republic of China challenged this motto by attacking Goggles efforts to reduce porn site access and Chinas restriction on finding human resources. Google did not falter from its motto. The company remained neutral according to Ethics Scoreboard. This allowed Google to maintain integrity amongst its consumers and ensured trust from its business partners.
The ethical business of Google is a simple and simple. Our goal is to provide Google with benefits that enhance its bottom line, which is not a business for individual employees. This means we have to provide benefits to the vast majority of those in the organization who work with us, and those whose families are paying and who spend time in our offices. This can be done on an individual basis as part of these voluntary policies to ensure that the company has an active role in helping the public understand its ethical and ethical principles. With the aim of becoming more ethical, all employees should have access to resources, including research services, to make their own decisions about company practices. The focus will be on helping Google and some of our employees understand the ethical principles behind their work. We are proud to work with Google to create a system to protect the ethical and ethical principles of our companies.
In 2015 Google decided to provide compensation to people who work in a high level job. We offer compensation to anyone who gets up to 3 extra hours, or who is currently employed in an equivalent level of a company with 2 or more employees. These positions are now fully compensated for the additional hours they perform. A more comprehensive review of our experience in each of these positions gives an insight into the current conditions affecting compensation for these positions. The compensation is offered to members that are employed in other similar jobs. This means each person, even those who are not underpaid, gets a free 4-hour pay and paid vacations.
Companies are increasingly using the same strategies that we have been advocating at Google for over a year. When you are starting a new idea, you could expect a new process of starting and growing quickly. At Google we want to get to work on getting an idea started early to get as good a deal as possible. We believe it is important to take a different approach in this direction in order to create the best possible place for our employees. If there are any things on the roadmap for which we could move along better, we’d like to be able to better prioritize them and keep the benefits for our employees for as long as possible.
One specific aspect of Google employee compensation that we can work through is the pay of our employees in our own business. Our current structure of compensation as a Google office is very high and our current business is quite low. Every year we collect more than $4 million annually in employee compensation for our employees. This helps us to keep all our workers in line with our values, with a fair compensation system, as well as giving the companies a voice at every step. Since we are making the investment to build great, high quality, innovative, inclusive and safe offices, our employees get an equal share of compensation and more time out of their day working.
“Internally, there are people who are concerned about ethics. In Google, there are a lot of people who find ethics important”. (Orlowski, 2007) With this Google stands out as an ethical and professional company. If all companies understood work ethic is not only internal but external they would also have dedicated employees and associates.
Starbucks is another company that is well-known for its balanced ethics. According to Fortunes 100 best companies to work for, Starbucks falls at #93. This company is well known for its great customer service and fresh products. Associates are paid a little above minimum wage and have access to health benefits. Starbucks is actively involved in programs from community service to its Ethos Water Fund. However, Starbucks does have some unethical behaviors happening in its company every day.
According to Starbucks business ethics and compliance program for 2009 fiscal year, the majority of the reports received involve employee relations issues. These issues represent 84 percent of its reports and involve: “pay, benefits, disciplinary action, and other topics that impact day-to-day work” (Starbucks, 2010). Another 14 percent of their reports involve safety and security issues, such as: “partner customer and safety, facility conditions, and allegations of
