“Be Ethical” emphasizes the critical importance of integrity and honesty in professional conduct.
The esteemed British writer C. S. Lewis said, “Integrity is doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.” That profound statement, a reminder that virtuous behavior is crucial to sustainable success, is the principle behind one of Jones & Henry’s cultural Benchmarks: Be Ethical.
In today’s fast-paced world, where decisions get made quickly and scrutiny is often limited, we cannot overstate the importance of integrity. Being ethical encapsulates the essence of our professional conduct, reflecting our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of integrity. In a field where our actions impact clients and colleagues alike, ethical behavior is not just encouraged; it’s a necessity.
Honesty is a cornerstone of ethical behavior. Transparency fosters trust, while deceit erodes relationships. When mistakes occur—and they inevitably will—it’s crucial to confront them head-on. Admitting errors, engaging in challenging conversations, and taking corrective actions are hallmarks of a true professional. Attempting to conceal or downplay mistakes only amplifies the fallout, leading to a breakdown of trust among colleagues and clients.
Our profession demands ethical behavior. By committing to this ideal, we can build stronger relationships, foster trust, and create a lasting impact in our field.
We have an established track record of launching successful careers.
At Jones & Henry Engineers, we offer mentorship and training opportunities throughout the year.
