Ethics-Based Culture
The author of this report has been asked to define and encapsulate the things that must be done, the actions that must be taken and the people that must be in place for there to be an ethics-based culture at a place of business.

Third and finally, the people that are hired into the firm have to match the company culture that a firm is trying to convey. People that are very hostile about Christians and such should probably not be hired into a firm that is Christ-centered,…
