A person with integrity is honest and has strong moral principles. This is a quality admired by many, and often sought-after during interviews. However, you never really discover if someone has integrity until placed in a difficult situation. The same goes for business. How are you sure the business you work with has integrity until monitoring their actions after something goes wrong? We list a few tips and tricks below!
Business Integrity: A Critical Component of Business Success
There are always ups and downs in any business, and sometimes mistakes happen. How your company and its employees react says a lot about who you are as a company and how much you care about your customers. Take a few of the most famous examples in history:
Ford Motor Company A frequent topic in business ethics discussions, Ford Motor Company faced controversy with one of its vehicles: The Ford Pinto. Originally designed to create more space in the trunk, the gas tank was close to other axles and parts of the car, causing it to easily catch fire. After related deaths, Ford began voluntarily recalling the car in 1978. By doing what the company felt right, Ford was able to persevere and unlike its competitors, avoided being bailed out by the government in the 2008-2009 recession.
Tylenol In 1982, several sealed bottles of Tylenol were tampered with and replaced with cyanide-laced capsules. They were then re-sealed and placed back on the shelf. In result, seven people died. Tylenol acted fast and issued a national alert, immediately recalled the product, and 6 months later, presented triple-safety-seal packaging for all products. The company disregarded the numerous costs with these actions and did what they felt was right to protect their customers, and in return, saved their brand.
PepsiCo In more recent years, PepsiCo has been under investigation, primarily in India. India is not happy that the manufacturing plant is polluting their environment and promoting unhealthy eating habits. The company is making strides to rebuild their brand by offering healthy snacks and beverages made with less sugar and sodium. Additionally, the company now uses smaller amounts of plastic for their beverage bottles in an attempt to be more eco-friendly.
National IT Support Companies & Business Integrity:
How does business integrity affect national IT companies? Like the national brands mentioned above, IT Support companies are also affected with difficult situations where they must decide what the best actions to take are. What happens when you notice the IT project director forgot a very important step in your 200-site national roll-out? Do you disregard the fact and hope the project still runs smoothly or do you stop what you are doing, admit there was a problem, and fix the issue correctly?
At Tie National, the answer is easy.

We do this by partnering with each of our constituents; from our clients to the technicians we contract.
