C717Task1.docx  Business Ethics C717  EKP1 – EKP Task 1: Ethical Standards  A.  Create three corporate policies that reflect the organizations culture and ethical viewpoints.  1.  The 4-Day Work Week  The purpose of this program is to increase employee productivity by providing employees with hours that qualify them as full-time employees while utilizing a 4-day work week.  Under this program, employees would be scheduled 32-40 work hours per week with the flexibility to have an additional day off during the standard work week.   ï‚§The employee would have the ability to choose the additional day off of either Monday or Friday with the option to select a different day off in a rolling 180-day period.  Employees will still be required to meet company metrics and quality requirements. Employees who fall beneath these standards will be subject to being removed from the program until their productivity meets company standards.  The rationale behind this program is to enhance the employees work-life balance, allowing for more flexible work schedules, which in turn would increase employee productivity.   ï‚§This policy would also be beneficial in preserving electricity and company resources by working with a decreased workforce in physical facilities on Mondays and Fridays.  Ethically, this policy shows that the company cares about not just the company, but also the mental health of its employees and their families. Employees that are healthy mentally can be more productive.
