Relentlessly Perfecting Our Ethics Performance

                                                                                                                                                                           


Relentless dedication is needed to protect advancements in Corporate Ethical Conduct.
Sustaining an Ethical Work Environment is endemic to the central, structural core of Corporate Culture JD & Associates, LLC continues to strengthen, and build upon.

“Ethics and integrity have always been endemic to the central, structural core of Corporate Culture at JD & Associates, LLC.  Our Corporate Visions and Values Statements reflect Our Corporate dedication to Ethics and Integrity.  It’s not just some colorful, philosophical epithet stated to merely impress and astound…..it’s who we are at the central, structural, core character of Our Corporation” says J. David Smith, CEO – COO – Owner of JD & Associates, LLC. “Just by following what is written on Our Corporate Core Visions & Values Cards themselves, doing the right thing, respecting others, and demonstrating a relentless dedication to professional excellence, anyone would have the mental tools necessary to act appropriately in any situation which would require an Ethical Judgment.  Furthermore, Smith says, “Our program works because our Ethics Officers as Corporate Leaders, both at the Corporate Level and in the field, are intrinsic to the business itself.  We attend key planning sessions and Corporate Business Meetings.  We have a thorough knowledge and understanding of our supportive roles in the business. Thus, by our presence at the Corporate Level, the gap between Corporate Business Practices and Ethics is closed.  At JD & Associates, LLC, Corporate Business Practices and Ethics are harmoniously in concert and are unified with one another, both in form and in character.”
 
"Within a Corporation, the temptation exists to become desensitized and lackadaisical to minor incidents that may occur internally or externally to a Corporation.  It is important to emphasize that this type of mindset can bring forth undesired effects. It can be directly compared to a seismic event.  One small seismic event can lead to a collective of seismic events.  Eventually, if the foundational, tectonic plates of Ethics are allowed to shift far enough and long enough, this ethical shaking will cause a massive fracturing event, inevitably destroying Corporate Trust in any established Ethical foundation and bedrock."  Smith says, “There is a huge economic incentive for not allowing this to occur.  Here at JD & Associates, an Ethical Reputation is mission critical for our continued, professional success to attract and keep the best Corporate Leaders and Clientele in the Industry.”
