We must ask ourselves if the decision we are about to make could become a rule that we all follow. Review how to apply this premise in your daily behaviors to contribute to the well-being of all.

As we studied in the first challenge of the annual course of conduct, The Power of Your Decision, there are decisions that in an exceptional case could seem convenient, but when they become a rule that we all follow, they could be harmful. For that reason, before acting, we must ask ourselves if the conduct that we are going to carry out would continue being appropriate and beneficial when it is generalized. To review the challenge again, access here.

For example, there are exceptional situations such as emergencies in which we can omit some controls in the procurement of goods and services to overcome the contingency. But have you ever wondered what would happen if we all assume that our hiring decisions are urgent and correspond to emergencies?

Perhaps we would end up raising hiring costs and affecting the sustainability of the company. That is why, it is essential that we always ask ourselves if we are really facing situations that can objectively be classified as emergencies or if, on the contrary, with good planning we could guarantee a timely hiring that complies internal controls.

To learn about other guidelines that can help us to make decisions that guarantee transparency and integrity, review the annual virtual course of conduct, The Power of Your Decision.

Remember that the course is available in your learning path in Success Factors.
