    My Code of Ethics

    I have created a personal code of ethics specific to my values as a professional. I chose to include values that will remain relevant to me throughout my changing career. This code acts as the foundation of standards that will ensure my success as a professional in any industry.

    Act Independently

    • I will remain objective always and not allow outside factors to influence decisions I make in the workplace.

    • I will work collaboratively with colleagues, but never compromise my morals, or the morals of my employer to successfully finish a project or close a deal. 

    ​

    Act with Integrity

    • I will not be tempted by bribes and will always act in accordance with fair and inclusive company policies.

    • I will refuse to obtain information from any source that is not credible.

    • I will be loyal to my employer and put the success of the company before personal gain.

     

    Be Accountable

    • I will take responsibility for my actions in the workplace and respond quickly and thoughtfully to the critiques of my colleagues and superiors. 

    • I will hold myself to the same standards I hold other professionals. 

    • I will clarify when a mistake has been made and fix it in a timely manner.

     

    Be Adaptable 

    • I won’t allow myself to become stuck in a workplace routine and will be able to quickly/efficiently modify strategies to successfully complete any project. 

    • I will continually educate myself on new information and ideas pertaining to my position.

    • I will always keep an open mind and attitude when collaborating with others.

    ​

    Be Curious 

    • I will never stop asking questions when I am unsure of something or wish to know more about a topic.

    • I will not blindly accept information given to me and will conduct thorough research on any topic I am not fully knowledgeable.

    • I will not let fear of looking foolish prevent me from asking questions when I am not completely certain of something.

    *When creating my personal code of ethics, I referenced the official codes of ethics of the Society of Professional Journalists as well as the Public Relations Society of America for format and wording purposes.
