"Because hundreds of thousands of business communicators
worldwide engage in activities that affect the lives of millions of
people, and because this power carries with it significant social
responsibilities, the International Association of Business
Communicators developed the Code of Ethics for Professional
Communicators."- Introduction to the
International Association of Business Communicators' (IABC) Code of
Ethics.
In
memory of September 11, 2001
n the aftermath of
September 11, as we refocus our priorities and deal with economic pressures, it helps to
have a broader perspective on the bottom line.
More than ever, we need to learn from
our new sense of vulnerability and find strength in the partnerships we build
with each other.
Some people call this social responsibility:
caring more for our employees, our customers, communities and our environment.
As a caring society, we are stronger than the sum of our parts.
It is
vital that we remember this as we make those difficult
business decisions in the days ahead.
