Business POC

With the way that the country’s economy has been, more and more people are going into business for themselves. Taking on the role of a business owner comes with an abundance of responsibilities, as well as processes that prove to be beneficial for you and your business.

One of these processes is registering a trademark for your specific business. This is a very important step that any new (or old) business owner needs to take in order to properly protect your particular company’s unique look, whether it’s in the form of a phrase, name, logo, symbol or word. This is what makes your company stand out, and you should take the necessary steps to protect it.

If you do not register a trademark, there are many negative consequences that could occur. You could lose the unique image that your company is based upon. A competitor could adopt a very similar name, logo or symbol so that it’s almost impossible to tell your two companies apart. The worst thing is that if your competitor has their trademarks registered, then you could lose yours-it doesn’t matter if you came up with the initial trademark or not! In addition, you could have to pay fees to your competitor for trademark infringement!

All of this could possibly lead to you having to completely redesign your company’s name or create a new unique symbol, logo or phrase for your customers to associate with your particular business. Just imagine how much money and time you will spend trying to take on a new trademark when you could have saved all of this worry by simply registering your trademark! And think about how frustrating it will be to have to keep your current customers with a completely different look or trademark.

By taking the steps to register your business’ trademark, you are protecting your business’ (and your own) welfare in several different ways. Your trademark will be protected across the nation by federal registration. When you look at what could happen if you do not register your trademark, the choice is easy.

You have worked hard to ensure your company’s success and to build your customer base. Your success, undoubtedly, has something to do with your specific and unique trademark. Neglecting to register your trademark has a wide range of negative effects, while registering your trademark has only positive consequences. Make the decision that’s best for your business and your needs as a business owner.

The sad truth is there are people who part take in unethical behavior within the workplace. Unethical behavior includes a variety of activities. Some unethical business behavior may include lying and changing the number of hours they have worked, making a long distance phone call on the business phones, and copying business software so they can use it at home. There can be more serious unethical behavior such as altering business records. There are also behaviors which are deemed as unethical and behavior that is illegal but ultimately is up to the business to decide if the behavior is illegal or not.

When a employee discovers someone that is being unethical, it can sometimes test what their own ethical values are. Sometimes behavior that is unethical and not illegal can fall under a grey area such as, what is right or wrong and can make it difficult to know what to do when they encounter it. However, people will also have different opinions on what is ethical and what isn’t. An example could be saying that it okay to say a white lie, and they make it okay because they can justify it their mind.

The employees own sense of what is right or wrong, comes into play when they witness someone else doing something that isn’t part of the companies standards. The employee will need to address how they are feeling about the activity and will they inform on the activity or do they turn a blind eye.

When the employee witness the employee doing something unethical a decision is made in what to do about it and so they are presented with a number of difficult options. Should they go and talk to the person or do they go and speak to the supervisor.

There are techniques that are put in place to make it easier to help with the decision and manage unethical behaviors. The company needs to create a policy for the company, that is signed by each employee so, they are aware on what to do. This will minimize the awakened feeling of what to do when seeing someone act unethically.

The second part is to show a outline of what will be expected of the person when they discover someone doing something unethical. It should also have the person that needs to be contacted and what the process is involved in doing so. Having a clear set instructions, will have a more proactive way on reporting on someone who is doing something unethical. So, by having this it can deal with this issue easily and quickly before it becomes a big issue.

The consequences should be clearly stated of what the unethical behavior is. That way, the person who witness the activity is aware of what to do which lessens the risk of someone not reporting something that is unethical.
