Introduction
 Think back to the first day you started at your job, were you nervous?  Did you know what to do or how to act?  Most people know how to act, but what should a company do to ensure all their employees are on the same page with how to act?  The answer is issuing a code of conduct.
Purpose of a Code of Conduct
 First we have to ask ourselves, what is a code of conduct?  A code of conduct is “ a written document called a code of conduct, or code of ethics, that sets the tone of core values and ethical guidelines for employees. This document will establish the guiding principles of behaviors and decision making of all employees” (Board, 2015).  In establishing a code of conduct, companies are giving their employees a physical document to check their behavior to the employer’s expected standard.  This will help employees determine if their behavior is ethical or unethical and should help reduce the number of instances of unethical behavior.
Why is it Important to Have a Code of Conduct?
 A code of conduct is important for many reasons.  If your company is public, it is by law required to have one.  “ A well-written code of conduct  clarifies an organization’s mission, values and principles , linking them with standards of professional conduct” (ECI, 2018).  “Additionally, a code is a  central guide and reference for employees  to support day-to-day decision making” (ECI, 2018).  A company’s code of conduct is important for internal decisions and day to day operations, but also externally it allows customers, investors, and anyone else who views the company to understand the behaviors, guidelines, expectations, and vision of the company.  A company with a strong ethical code of conduct will likely have success over the long term with fewer incidents and will be highly regarded in the community over a company that lacks or has a weak code of conduct.
Issues to Address in a Code of Conduct
 There are many things that should be covered in a code of conduct.  Since there will be so many things covered, and employers want their employees to understand what they are stating, they need to, “ Create the code of conduct with language that is as clear as possible. Examples may include prohibitions on illegal activities, smoking, drinking, foul language, discrimination and harassment. You may also include confidentiality expectations, procedures for calling in sick, expected dress and appearance and reporting procedures for emergency situations. (McKay, 2018).  From previous experience, the companies I have worked for have had codes of conduct that include, tobacco use, drug policies, dress code, expected behavior inside work, expected behavior outside of work, attendance policies, sexual harassment clauses, and many others.  It is a basically guideline of how to look, feel, and act.
Evaluate a Code of Conduct
 The company I currently work for has a very detailed code of conduct.  It address sick leave, vacation, excused absences, unexcused absences, FMLA, dress code, drug policy, sexual harassment policy, discrimination policy, expected behaviors inside and outside of work, and many other subjects.  Spirit employees almost 14,000 people at locations throughout the world, so as a result they have written a very detailed and extensive code of conduct to try and eliminate any gray areas or areas that haven’t been covered that could leave the employees or the company vulnerable.  This is a great policy to me because everyone has the same information and is put on a level playing field.  I have been treated with more dignity and respect at this company than any I have ever worked at before which in turn has made me buy into the company’s values and want to work even harder.  It has made me feel like I have found my career home rather than just working a job.
Conclusion
 Writing a code of conduct can be time consuming as it must cover as many possible aspects as leadership can think of.  However, this might be one of the most important things a company can do.  Internally it shows the vision and expectation the company has, externally it helps build a reputation in the community and the world.  A positive strong code of conduct will help lay a strong foundation for a company to succeed.
