Description
Solution
In my role working in Saudi Aramco, I was able to identify a concern which conflicted with legislations set by the organisation. In specific, an issue was noted evidencing on pay disparity of people who were doing the same job. Further, some of the employees had noted that they ended up receiving their payment late while others were receiving it on time.
The noted issue was against Saudi Labour Law and the Equality Act 2010 which require all employees not to be discriminated in pay due to possession of protected characteristics.
From my input to obtain detailed information and data to support the concerns raised by the employees, I used in-depth communication process. Through being able to obtain sufficient data, information and evidence I utilised good communication channel. A case example, considering whistleblowing on the issues of payment offered to the employees despite of executing similar roles, it is important to designate their operations such as suggestion box and assure anonymity. The process which I used to communicate was also made successful since I used social media platforms and technology to communicate effectively.
Example of Unethical Issue
Working in Saudi Aramco, an unethical issue had been identified where there were cases of manipulation of pay reimbursed to employees.
Breaching Ethical Code– Working in Saudi Aramco, after COVID-19 pandemic emerged, employees were offered with a chance of participating in flexible/remote working. The organisation took a holistic charge in facilitating and supporting the remote working process. The areas of facilitation included subscribing for internet, different systems used such as Zoom and Microsoft 365. There were expectations that the entire incurred costs in implementing the remote working would increase significantly. The employees had been identified to have manipulated/altered the accurate amount which required to be paid. Their action of taking money with false pretence represent unethical issue.
The procedure of raising the issue;
- Active engagement of senior admin and management for a discussion
- Documenting entire issues of suspicion, misappropriation of funds
- Approaching all parties professionally
- Initiating a communication plan to be followed in management of unethical issue
