Q-How Does One Commit To Following Through On Ethical Decisions?"

To commit to ethical decision making, one must seek guidance from professional guidelines and policies and avoid unethical solutions. When making major company decisions, it is tempting to choose the easiest option rather than the most ethical one. The PLUS model provides a framework for ethical decision making through four filters: checking if a decision aligns with company policies and procedures, laws, universal values, and one's own standards of fairness. Applying these filters to defining problems and assessing potential solutions allows for consistently ethical decision making.

Q- How does one commit to following through on ethical decisions?

"
Ethical decision making is the process in which you aim to make your decisions in line with a code of
ethics. To do so, you must seek out resources such as professional guidelines and organizational
policies, and rule out any unethical solutions to your problem.

When you're making a major decision for your company, it can be tempting to choose the easiest or
most cost-effective course of action -- even if that option isn't the best from an ethical standpoint.

PLUS Ethical Decision-Making Model is one of the most used and widely cited ethical models.

It purposely leaves out anything related to making a profit so that leaders can focus on values
instead of a potential impact on revenue.

The letters in PLUS each stand for a filter that leaders can use for decision-making:

 P – Policies and Procedures:


Is the decision in line with the policies laid out by the company?
 L – Legal:
Will this violate any legal parameters or regulations?
 U – Universal:
How does this relate to the values and principles established for the organization to
operate? Is it in tune with core values and the company culture?
 S – Self:
Does it meet my standards of fairness and justice? This particular lens fits well with
the virtue approach that is a part of the five common standards mentioned above.

These filters can even be applied to the process, so we can have a clear ethical framework all along
the way. Defining the problem automatically requires one to see if it is violating any of the PLUS
ethical filters. It should also be used to assess the viability of any decisions that are being considered
for implementation, and make a decision about whether the one that was chosen resolved the PLUS
considerations questioned in the first step.
