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.
