Codes of ethics and statements of core values provide a framework for employees to gauge the appropriateness of their actions and decisions. However, simply having them written down and distributed may not be enough to ensure ethical behavior and cultural norms are followed. Other measures such as training programs, top-down reinforcement, and ongoing evaluation are also important.
