When working for large and sometimes small organizations, you are  going to have to review and sign an ethics code eventually. Some people  believe ethics codes are to punish wrong doers when in fact the code of  ethics are put in place to protect employees and staff. The ethics code  documents provides tools to know exactly what behavior is expected on  your job. I find the code of business conduct more attractive because I  am familiar with that information. We have a business code of conduct  that is completed each year. The online course is a 2 hour class and the  document to sign electronically is at the end of the course. Many times  it is stressful because it describes everything that is accepted and  not accepted. It puts you in the mind frame to do the right thing all  the time. 

Describe the message that the title “code of conduct” conveys? Does  it reflect the purpose of the document to provide employee guidance on  expected conduct?

The title code of conduct simply states the rules and regulations  that are accepted by the organization. “The individuals designing the  code should tailor it to reflect the organization’s unique culture,  risks, and history” (Gonzalez-Padron, T., 2015).
