PERSONAL VALUES AND THE INTERNAL CSR:
to the subject insist that companies have personality: the personality of the address that is passed down through the middle and come to influence the behavior of lower-level employees. Much of the personality of the company is in the personal values \u200b\u200bof senior management. Let
some ethical values \u200b\u200band their influence on the internal relationship of the company.
An example: A company environmental
(important and well placed) has decided to make a heavy investment in infrastructure and this has delayed salaries for 3 months (taking advantage of the production is seasonal and are currently in repair), arguing that there is no money, but checks for vendors out on time. From this situation (real unfortunately) we make the following analysis:
1 - VALUE: Truth, Accuracy - Transparency
to-High Address:
They decided to lie (1), which implies, in itself, a lack respect to personnel, you are sure will become a lack of respect for employees to the company (read: non-cooperation, boycotts, theft, discouragement, bad publicity, etc..) and a lack of respect in the entire chain of command.
Some will say: "the end justifies the means, not to fall into hypocrisy Management must also endorse the actions of other staff. For me, the end never justifies the means, in this case the medium was delaying salaries (lean, eye!) For the purpose is to diminish the contributions of the shareholders and senior management (forcing the remaining staff to cover the works .)
addition, this lie (and all the lies) are a fun staff and good faith of the staff. Nothing good can have this attitude. Economically
equation closes perfectly in the short term and that despite any personal attitude of the factory will be ready for when they need it, no doubt. Close only economically.
A company not only has an economic purpose and if top management believes that it is, will undoubtedly stumble in history and certainly has a captive people and many problems to solve, for example: commitment to quality and costs quality.
The question is: Can we build a company serious about this address?. I think not, since nothing prevents them from acting on behalf of itself and obvious prejudice the company in other circumstances. Lacks the ethical and moral boundaries.
b-Middle managers:
In these cases, management tends to congratulate and commend those "leaders" who are able to maintain a reasonable pace of work in these conditions. The question is: How do they do?. The answer is by some of the following methods: coercing, or bribing mostly lying. Undoubtedly these people are in fine tune with the spirit of the company, the question is: Can we build a company serious about this leadership?. I think not, since nothing prevents them from acting the same way for their own benefit and obvious prejudice of the company. Lacks the ethical and moral boundaries.
The rest of the middle manager must comply with an order that generates domestic violence with their ethical and moral boundaries, which can be transferred to the home environment and bear in tensions within the family, addictions.
c-The ratings:
Usually these people have low to very low salaries, but must survive (not discovered gunpowder), somehow it must either borrow unnecessarily, working on something else at your leisure ( if the schedule permits!), or getting the money somehow.
helplessness is generated (the contract includes the economic protection in a timely manner), injustice, resentment, nervousness, etc. which are bound to move the family environment where the minimum requirements (we are talking food, education and health) remain intact for obvious reasons and can earn in tensions within the family, addictions.
d-unions:
The silence and inaction of the representatives of workers against the union must have happened for some reason "unholy" as coercion, threats, bribery, etc. This is not good.
Undoubtedly the main purpose of a business is the generation of wealth, but the means they use affects society as a whole. Even promotes the disappearance of social capital which is one of the most important forces of social cohesion and undermines human dignity (value that separates the men from the rest of creation). The question is not who is responsible?, But how do we change this methodology, this way of doing things?. The answer lies in the CSR.
(1) From Wikipedia: A lie is a statement made by someone who believes or suspects to be false or in part, hoping that listeners will believe, always hiding the reality of partial or total. A certain sentence may be a lie if the speaker thinks it is false or partially obscures the truth.
2 - VALUE: JUSTICE - DIGNITY - RESPECT e-
High Address:
If this company is able to commit the greatest injustice of all (not fulfilling the contract) is able to act unfairly in any other situation. A person or persons who made the decision not interested in the least safety or welfare of those who depend on it / them and tomorrow, with the same arguments (the danger of the lack of ethical values \u200b\u200bis that it is very easy to justify) may act in an unfair manner with any of his peers in the conduct and even shareholders.
also comes into play the concept of impunity (SAR: LACK OF PUNISHMENT) that generates a real vulnerability of the weakest, where the mighty (sad but true) sends the message "I can do whatever he wants with you." almost something like "I belong." This generates a ninguneo impunity that undermines the dignity, devalued to the point of the machines or less, as the machines, due to lack of maintenance or repair, "defend" increasing production costs).
Again, the question is: Can we build a company serious about this address?. I think not, since nothing prevents them from acting on behalf of itself and obvious prejudice the company in other circumstances. Lacks the ethical and moral boundaries. F-
Middle managers:
always and unfortunately, many companies are living the "law of the house" (the chicken shit up to the one below), a nasty idea but real. This "law" power to injustice. Since the feeling of absolute power (do what I want with you, I belong), in this case, serves as food for the ego which is in the middle such as a life of their own dignity outraged. Broadcasting and promoting injustice down and further denigrating the most defenseless.
Again, the question is: Can we build a company serious about this leadership?. I think not, since nothing prevents them from acting the same way for their own benefit and obvious prejudice of the company. Lacks the ethical and moral boundaries. Again
generated internal violence, and that deep down we all know the truth and we are aware of the limits ethical and moral, which can move the family environment and bear in tensions within the family, addictions.
g-The ratings:
The effects of injustice (and lying) on \u200b\u200bthe junior staff were (mistakenly?) Treated in the previous post, however I wish to rescue the ideas of helplessness and resentment generated by the injustice. It is a feeling unworthy (1), reduction of the human being under conditions (can not think of equivalence), impotence in the face of reality that can not change (even change), almost reduced to humiliating servitude .. I repeat what the first post: It breaks the entire share capital of the company and probably the direct environment unfailingly be moved to the family environment where the minimum requirements (we are talking about food, education and health) remain intact for obvious reasons and can earn in tensions within the family, addictions. H-
Unions:
This is the first chain of social capital is destroyed, the representatives of the workers are treated, at least traitors. They have a primary responsibility: to protect the dignity of workers and their associated minimum value: Respect (1). This obligation is delegated, is the starting point, then comes any other work that can be run well or not so well and may be questionable, or not. I repeat: This is not good.
(1) Extracto de: VALORES Y PRINCIPIOS: La Dignidad Humana y sus implicaciones éticas - J. Vidal-Bota
A- …Kant, en su Fundamentación de la metafísica de las costumbres, dice: «Obra de tal modo que trates a la humanidad, tanto en tu persona como en la de cualquier otro, nunca meramente como un medio, sino que, en todo momento, la trates también como a un fin». Luego insiste en el mismo sentido: «Pues los seres racionales están todos bajo la ley de que cada uno debe tratarse a sí mismo y debe tratar a todos los demás nunca meramente como medio, sino siempre a la vez como fin en sí mismo. De este modo, surge un enlace sistemático de seres racionales por leyes objetivas comunes, this is a kingdom, which, as these laws are precisely the reference purpose of these beings to one another as ends and means can be called a kingdom of ends "...
... In short, while part of world, man transcends and shows a unique ability - for his intelligence and his freedom - to dominate. And it feels impelled to action for this purpose. We can accept therefore that the value of human beings is of a higher order with respect to the other beings of the cosmos. And we call this value 'human dignity' ... B-...

The first attitude suggests consideration of the dignity of every human being the respect and rejection of any manipulation: in front of him can not behave as we behave before an object as if it were a "thing" as a means to achieve our personal ends. Principle of Respect

3 - THE ECONOMIC BUSINESS
We maximize the numbers to calculate a maximum gain for the company:
- Staff are not paid: about 200, say.
- Average Salary: U $ S800 .-
- Total money not paid in a timely manner: U $ S160.000.
However, this figure must be paid sooner or later, so the net gain of managers would be the interest earned (saved)
- Interest rate: 4% per month (exaggerating a lot)
- Months of delay: 3
- Total money saved for late salaries: U $ S20.000 .-
is absurd !!!!. The damage caused by a number that is lower than the price of 1 (one) car moving managers.
Comparing this with the income of the company (actual): 107,000 tons produced with an average selling price of U $ S 330 / Tn, gives us a little more than U $ S 35,000,000.
OTHER BASURDO!! It is as clear a forest to get a toothpick.
Unless the reason was not economic. But, what?.
not understand ... I repeat: The question is not who is responsible?, But how do we change this methodology, this absurd way of doing things?. The road is CSR
4 - THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COIN: CSR
