"Professional Ethics for Payroll: A Boeing Story"
Payroll professionals play a crucial role in upholding ethical standards within their organizations. Boeing, a global aerospace giant, has faced significant ethical controversies over recent years, particularly surrounding the development of the 737 MAX aircraft. Allegations of not prioritizing safety led to tragic accidents. This keynote critically examines the ethical challenges faced by Boeing and their broader implications and lessons for payroll professionals. We will explore Boeing's shift from prioritizing quality to focusing on profits after its merger with McDonnell Douglas, examining key incidents such as the crashes, the decline in safety standards, and the role of whistleblowing in addressing ethical concerns. This session will equip attendees with valuable tools to navigate complex ethical dilemmas, avoid conflicts of interest, and promote integrity in the workplace.
