Ethical decision-making models generally fall into two categories: step-by-step models and lens models. Step-by-step models give you steps to work through that will help lead you to an ethical decision. For example, the AICPA Conceptual Framework and the PLUS model are both step-by-step approaches. Lens models attempt to give you a big picture view of how ethical decisions are made. Learning more about how one can view an ethical decision through a lens model allows you to evaluate the situation from a high-level perspective in order to make the best decision possible.
The key to utilizing an ethical decision-making model is appreciating how they each may be useful depending on the circumstances. By better realizing what is needed in a given situation, you can do a better job of choosing the right decision-making model to address necessary issues.
- Achieving diversity, equity and inclusion in workplaces and communities more broadly is foundational to realizing our potential as a society. Diversity, equity and inclusion are mutually reinforcing principles. It is insufficient to focus only on diversity because a sense of belonging (inclusion) and fairness (equity) are equally critical. Without equitable practices and intentional inclusion, diversity efforts will fail. DEI initiatives often include fundamental fairness as one of their premises, and the merits of this goal cannot be overemphasized. But “fairness” in and of itself is not a metric traditionally measured and monitored in terms of organizational performance. In recent years, the emergence of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) measures has supported monitoring and reporting of DEI. For organizations that do it well, these metrics are not seen as a checklist to complete, but rather as an ongoing process and conversation to grow and thrive.
- When DEI initiatives are successful, organizations benefit by:
- Being more innovative, as diverse thinking harnesses creativity and enhances decision-making by reducing groupthink.
- Attracting and retaining a stronger and more resilient and sustainable workforce as individuals choose organizations that reflect their own values.
- Achieving stronger performance results in the long term, both financially and non-financially.
