How does you
organization portray its values?
The company I currently work for has a couple of different
ways of portraying its values to different audiences. First, the way employees
interpret the values or get insight to them is through the organizations
employee manual and through annual, monthly and weekly training. Through those
programs and training we are given guidance as to what is expected of us, how
we can improve in weak areas and where our projections could take us if we are
successful. Secondly, the company does a great job of sharing public
information with the general public. Through outreach programs and more
recently, the media, they make sure that the public knows what services we
provide and how efficient we are at doing that.
In recent years, the control tower contract program has gotten a lot of
attention due to the government shutdown and the government budget cuts. That
exposure has allowed our company too really showcase how valuable and effective
we are for the flying public.
Behaviors portrayed
positively by our leader’s…example
Like I mentioned above, our company and the contract company
in general has got a lot of attention in the last three years. It is a hard
task to get the public to understand the level of service air traffic
controllers provide, especially in the private sector. Without the support from
our leaders, we would not have got the exposure we did that allowed the public
to see our successes. In addition to that, there were some key players in the
government that really looked out for us and got the public to understand why
funding us and allowing us to keep our jobs is important.
Someone was unethical
in the workplace…..example
When I was in the Navy, there was a person I worked with
that did some pretty unethical things. It was the policy of the base I was at
to not allow younger sailors to journey to far away from the base on
weekends/days off. This prevented accountability issues and general issues from
arising. One weekend, this person decided to drive from our base to their home
town that was about 8 hours away. While they were there, they set their car on
fire (tried to make it look like it was stolen and it wasn’t them) and then
took a bus back to base. While at work, this person often talked about the
situation and how they needed rides, special attention due to the situation,
and special consideration for training. They basically made it seem like the
world ended and they needed all of the attention. This created huge problems at
the base because everyone was trying to accommodate this person and their
situation. After a couple of weeks, the local police department from their
hometown called and said they had arrested this person and the base was to come
and get him. As you can imagine a lot of things went wrong. The only thing this
person knew how to do as say that they were in tha Navy and serving their
country and so on and on. That is totally unethical and their actions, like the
video talked about, started with some minor issues and slid into the illegal
realm pretty quick. Needless to say, the person was kicked out of the Navy and
banned from air traffic control for life.
