Current status of corporate moral culture construction

Enterprises should encourage employees to speak their true thoughts and opinions, and choose to adopt their opinions and suggestions, because the bottom voice is the voice that is closest to the people, and best represents the opinions and opinions of most people. Then the relevant departments formulate the development plan of the enterprise accordingly, and clarify the future development direction. Only by listening to the employees' minds and thinking about the employees can we mobilize their enthusiasm and work together as a group to integrate all investment, transformation and expansion projects with the company's vision, and lay a solid foundation for our corporate culture and ethics. The basics.

In most enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, the moral qualities of managers are uneven, cultures are different, and most of them enter the corporate management through various methods. They have no management experience, lack of interpersonal skills, and even The number of people involved in the management of the company without rigorous training is not a small number, and more than half of their managers are "fund asset managers" rather than "human" managers. Therefore, according to the survey, there is a saying circulating in most companies: Who said what is more important than what is said. In order to strengthen the moral culture of enterprises, it is also a big problem to improve the comprehensive quality of managers.

3. Lack of employee identity. At present, most employees in Chinese companies have the recognition that you pay me and I do my work. Such subconsciousness makes them lack conscious initiative and creativity. So, in this case, how can we let What about our employees contributing their wisdom and strength? Therefore, we must think of ways to increase the identity of employees, let them consciously serve the enterprise, and maximize the social value while achieving self-worth.

The starting point and the entire process of implementation itself highlight the morality of corporate behavior. At present, market competition has fully entered the era of "image competition" among enterprises.

The essence of this kind of competition has prompted modern enterprises to carry out a new image positioning, that is, in addition to the economic benefits marked by profits, they must also pay more attention to the socio-political and moral responsibilities they undertake, including their responsibility to the government, compliance with national laws and regulations, and Decrees and regular taxes; social responsibility is reflected in providing employment opportunities and supporting social welfare undertakings.

Ways to Strengthen the Construction of Corporate Ethical Culture

1. Strengthen the construction of the cultural system and promote the team spirit. The role of an enterprise manager should be able to fully mobilize the enthusiasm of all employees and unite in order to have a tenacious fighting force. Only in this way can we strengthen cultural and moral construction. The key to team spirit lies in mutual encouragement in work, consistency in thought, and resonance in perspective. Only with a good team spirit can we improve the overall vitality of the enterprise, exert its overall creativity, and help the enterprise occupy the market. Establish a sound cultural system, inspire all employees' sense of pride, honor, and destination, consciously associate personal interests with the success or failure of the company, unite, unite the knowledge and ideals of all employees, and create good results.

2. Integrity education for management. Integrity is the core of corporate culture and moral construction, and the cornerstone of the company's development. While improving the selection and employment system, it is necessary to educate management personnel on integrity. Without integrity, they cannot stand on the market. They cannot manage and motivate employees, and formulate future development plans and strategies for the company.

3 Cultivate a people-oriented atmosphere. In recent years, if the effectiveness of an enterprise is low and it is difficult to continue, the director or manager is changed from one term to another. However, each leader only manages from the technical system level, but ignores the importance of moral culture and has not formed. People-oriented ethical and cultural atmosphere only drains the company's talents and distracts people, making it difficult to get rid of the predicament. In some foreign companies, the most prominent moral culture is team spirit, while Chinese corporate culture is mainly based on protection, giving employees appropriate care, comprehensive services, and stable security. Therefore, enterprises are required to adhere to people-oriented. Only by strengthening the construction of corporate moral culture, strengthening the people-oriented concept, putting people at the core, and actively pursuing the maximization of corporate social value, can we help companies to become bigger and stronger in all aspects.
