Hi, this is Emily：

 

Please share with us, if you only can keep 3 of these 4, which one you would like to give up, what’s the choice your work firm would like to make among 「Sales」, 「Employees’ Reputation」, 「Employees’ Safety」 and 、「Work Ethics( including Legal Compliance)」?

 

There is definitely no standard answer, however, in my point of view, it depends on the significance of impact on things and people, and, some things contain more than 1 element of above 4. For example, there is a salesperson, in order to win the opportunity of attending the deal bidding worthy of TWD50 billion, he bought a TWD200 hand shake drink to the purchasing person of the client side; is this a kind of bribery needs to be severely punished? What’s your idea?

 

Situation in this article is not complicated, but, in Company A and B, they made different choice. I hope this brings useful and valued information for your reference：

 

Company A, Boss：Sales is very important,however, right and wrong( behave properly) is much more important!

I worked for Company A before. Something happened, and A needed to solve it on the day the thing was reported. What was that?

 

The firm owner, Boss, received a report from employee X, saying our junior colleague, G, encountered a sexual harassment by our Head of Sales, S, in an activity outside of the company, causing G dared not to come to the office on that day.

 

It happened unexpectedly, and A solved this issue in a very high speed also causing lots of gossips internally.

Soon, Boss talked to us in a managers’ meeting about this case and his rule：

1. To protect employees is one of the Company’s responsibilities, and, please trust the Company will not discriminate our employees due to their 「Work Level」.

2. This involved in「the manager’s personal reputation」 and「the employee’s mental and physical health」, so, the Company needs to 「check and verify the truth」very quickly to protect related employees’ rights and to avoid any misunderstanding caused in waiting period. Please realize this concern.

3.  Please also make efforts to deal with all of the ongoing sales contracts, or, seek help from Legal or Customer Service Department. If there is any loss caused by the resignation of the Sales Head, the Company will take all the responsibility, please do not have any worry about this.

Sales performance is important, but what I value more is whether each manager's work behavior can serve as a role model for employees. And, the Company doesn’t want to create a fearful work environment to our employees.

4.  We feel regret it caused fear to our employees.「We also appreciate the employee’s report, it provided the Company opportunity of self-improvement. And the Company will reinforce work procedures related to emergency case occurrence and make everyone work with no fears.

 

In this matter, I respect our Boss’ work courage and power a lot, and, the things mentioned above I've marked in blue are also those I respect and would like to learn from him most. As a viewer, do you feel those things are supposed to be handled this way, and there is nothing special about it?

But, how will you react if your reputation and work rights are not protected, and more than that, being hurt?

 

Have you ever encountered a company choosing performance between ethics and performance? I did…

And, I’ll share with you about its situation in Company B, in another article.
