| Synopsis
With a premise
that ethics is good business, this booklet avoids academic and philosophical
discussions to focus on some of the practical considerations for
insurance agents, brokers, and adjusters. It discusses the concepts
of ethical behavior, conflicts of interest, and some of the real
world ethics failures that hit the headlines in recent years. The
ways people can gain the trust and confidence of others—and
succeed in business—by demonstrating ethical behavior are
examined. It looks at the objectives of ethics codes, provides examples
of ethics codes, and gives guidance on how to draft an ethics code
for a business. Lastly, it challenges the reader to think about
ethical decision-making with real world case studies.
