James needed to create a code of ethics for a paper distribution company that he worked for. At base level, it included the laws that needed to be obeyed. Next, he included the company's needs such as those of the employees. Next were general ethics, things that may seem obvious, but need to be stated anyway. When it was finished and approved, he presented it to all the employees if everyone knows the rules and how they are expected to behave, they cannot claim that they were misinformed, that can give those that would bully others no excuse for their actions and make the workplace that much safer.
