Building an Ethical Organization Part I
You have just been appointed as the director of a new health care or human service organization (for example, a public health clinic). As the director, one of your first tasks is to draft a mission statement and a values statement for your organization. As your organization grows, your stakeholders will provide their input and help shape these statements.
1. Description of Organization: What services does the organization provide? Who is the clientele? Is it a for-profit or non-profit organization?
2. Mission Statement: What is organization's mission statement? How will the mission statement support the ethical system? What message does the mission statement send to the community?
3. Values Statement: What is the organization's values statement? How will these values inspire action and influence behavior? How do these values relate to the organization's mission?
