Making Good Decisions
When you face a tough situation and the right answer isn’t clear, ask yourself these questions. Before taking action, review your plan with your supervisor to ensure they agree with your decision.
What issue do I face?
- Could this violate a law or regulation?
- Does it go against Qnity’s core values or the Code of Conduct?
- Could it break a Qnity policy or rule?
- Is it unethical by professional or personal standards?
What are my responsibilities?
- What are my ethical responsibilities at Qnity?
- Does my job or professional group have specific ethical standards?
Who is affected by this?
- Customers?
- Shareholders?
- Suppliers?
- Colleagues?
- Local communities?
- My family or myself?
What resources can help?
- Relevant laws and regulations (contact Legal if needed)
- Qnity’s core values, Code of Conduct, and policies
- Professional or industry standards
- RESOURCES on our intranet
What actions should I consider?
- Would I be comfortable explaining my decision to my family?
- How would my decision look if shared online and trended on social media?
- Am I treating others as I would want to be treated?
- How would I explain my decision to a colleague?
If you are unsure about a colleague’s actions, ask, “Can you help me understand your reasoning?” Talking about how we make our decisions helps us learn from each other and build a shared understanding of Qnity’s values.
