Solution to Discussion Case
Benefits to employees of having a code of conduct:
• Creates clarity as to how all employees are expected to behave. This should help
employees avoid behaviours that the company prohibits.
• Provides protection for employees when dealing with superiors given the guide-
lines related to protection from discrimination and harassment.
• Establishes guidelines for workplace safety, which should help protect the health
of employees.
• Provides information on the consequences of code violations, which will help un-
derstand employees understand the outcomes of prohibited behaviours, if de-
tected.
• Provides guidance as to what employees should do if they witness a violation of
the code and protects those employees who do report an incident.
Disadvantages to CIBC of having a code of conduct:
• May create the impression among employees that they are not trusted by senior
management to act appropriately.
• The obligation to report violations could create a culture of suspicion and mis-
trust among employees.
• Enforcing the code may be costly and time consuming in large organizations
such as CIBC. For example, investigations of possible violations could take
weeks.
• CIBC may be at a competitive disadvantage versus firms that have a less ‘restric-
tive’ code of behaviour.
