ethical issues and possible preventive measures essay example
In today’s society, scandals that have befallen large corporations are quickly detected and discussed through the use of the media. How a company responds and solves a problem can be detrimental to success and growth. In the following text, we will discuss the recent Wells Fargo scandal, ethical issues, and how or if the scandal could have been prevented.
Case Facts
In 2008/2009, Wells Fargo introduced a quota for opening or cross-selling by employees across the company. However, it was discovered that in order to meet the quota, employees began to create fake accounts for customers. These “free” accounts promised by employees to customers were actually premium accounts, Wells Fargo premium accounts come with high fees. These large commissions lead to account overdrafts, and account overdrafts lead to more serious problems, such as the destruction of a client’s credit lines.
Ethical issues
The most obvious ethical issue of the 2008/2009 Wells Fargo scandal. there was a loss or breach of trust that resulted in the loss of integrity of Wells Fargo employees. The loss of integrity for personal incentive had an impact on the corporation as a whole. Poor decision-making issues, chosen and carried out by employees rather than consumers, are detrimental to Wells Fargo’s reputation and morale.
Was Wells Fargo wrong or not?
Wells Fargo employees were wrong, they lied, created and opened fake accounts, and hid the fact that they did it to get an incentive. Piazza & Jourdan (2018) acknowledged that without publicity, organizations’ misbehavior may or may not change organizational membership, meaning that if they are not caught, employees will stay to reap the benefits of their paycheck. Carberry, EJ, Engelen, P. & Van Essen, M. (2018) found that the costs of corporate misconduct begin with the cost of replacing employees and can lead to reputational penalties that can be associated with a corporation’s decline in share price and loss interested parties. The entire Wells Fargo account-opening scandal was systemic in the sense that it involved the entire company and was not caused by one person.
What is the root cause or source?
Knowing and distributing incentives for employees to cross-sell services and accounts was the biggest problem in the Wells Fargo scandal. Elections were made within the whole company so that everyone who participated in them could benefit.
How could this have been avoided?
First of all, without offering an incentive for quota purposes. When you create rewards but don’t track how they are achieved or earned, you start allowing employees to engage in unethical business practices. What’s more, when Wells Fargo executives discovered there was a problem with fake accounts, they needed to stop the program, declare the problem, and fix it before it got worse. Corporations facing misconduct try to limit the exposure of problems in order to limit external losses. In an attempt to remedy the situation, Wells Fargo laid off 5,300 participating employees, about 1 percent of the company’s 300,000 employees. However, when there are multiple reasons for hitting certain market thresholds, it’s not just your day-to-day employees that are at fault. Piazza & Jourdan (2018) recognized that when a member of an organization is attached to it and has to deal with the consequences, the less they should react to a scandal. The corporate culture will have to change, starting with making sure that the ethical decisions of the CFO or CEO are consistent with those of the company. The higher-ranking employee has the opportunity to convey to all employees the ethical business values necessary to conduct business with integrity.
When misbehavior becomes the focus of attention, the organization has the opportunity to show that they have higher ethical standards or are perceived as strict adherents of ethical standards. With a combination of personal and business ethics, organizational control and government regulation, the company is less likely to create an unethical corporate culture. However, more than one person or department is responsible for how an organization is run, and its social responsibility leads to better bottom line results, greater profits, and more customers for business growth.
