It is believed that the system of inquiry will have a strongly positive effect on the organization. Verizon has long had some form of ethical code, but with the new code coming into effect in 2008 and the introduction of a system of inquiry, the firm is demonstrating strong ethical values. These are the values shared by most of the employees already. What the code and system do within the company is to formalize the values that most employees already have. It improves the perception of fairness and presents a unified view of ethical issues throughout the firm.
This also will have strong impacts outside the organization. In an era when corporate scandals are commonplace, having such a strong program of building and enforcing a code of ethics will have a positive impact on Verizon's reputation. It will also strengthen the stock market's view of Verizon's governance, which can help sustain shareholder wealth.
Conclusion
Verizon has instituted this year a new code of conduct for its employees. The practical application of this code will require a formalized system of inquiry to identify...
When a situation is identified, the investigation process will be swift and transparent. To help encourage the identification of ethical issues, a whistleblower protection system will be used. Accused will have rights, and any serious matters will be referred to the criminal justice system. Ultimately, the code of conduct and the system of inquiry will strengthen Verizon, both internally and in terms of their external reputation.
