5c.Ethical professional enquiry learnt

Professional ethics have evolved from the ways of how organization process and conduct things. professions such as the schools, design industry, hotel and many more they have their own ethical standards that related to individual field.

As a candidate I came across all different types of professional ethics in all sort of working field and most of the time they turn out to be a code of conduct whereby they are rules you got to comply with and majority of the time failure to do so would lead to a disciplinary action or dismissal

As a candidate coming across the professional ethics of a private butler but having the eye as a designer in the Victorian Gothic piece of art work created by Sir Gilbert Scott St Pancras renaissance hotel my code of conducts which were set out in contract on a variety of paper whereby I had to fill and sign. This action showed that the hotel had a reputation, which all staff had to comply with within the company as we as individuals portray the company as guest or clients walk into this hotel.

 I would say I tend to use work personal ethics in a professional and non professional situation or better yet environment and acting suitably in the professional environment which has made me play a great part of the hotel and showed that am as well valued as the hotel and as a candidate I represent what the hotels says.

In my written code of conduct I stated that ‘Appearance is necessary not to casual but smart with a top five star finishing touch that represents the hotel in a whole. Its just prohibited to wear in appropriate clothing prior to the hotel standards as we are trying to be the best we can and apply the five star concept which we have to adhere to regardless. As first impression counts when interacting with customers and clients.

Working as a private butler in the eccentric glorious hotel I came across professional ethic here. These have mainly made me focus on trustworthiness, smooth running of an event or executive lounge and made me professional by they way I deliver.

Working for St Pancras International hotel I have applied certain rules to my self as an individual, certain posture, language, confidentiality between I and client and delivery of service has made me as a person implied luxury to lifestyle.

Up 4 Hire live ( BBC 3 SHOW) Youth Unemployement

Dear Candidates or Candidates of the year i just had to share something new which i learnt over this week and this was due to an email i got having an invitation from BBC 3 via Middlesex University.

I was part of the audience when i got this magnificent invitation. Sometimes as students we got to keep on track whats going on in the outside world and we have to learn and know whats new out there.
Tonight i can actually say that i have learnt something new on the 17th of this month 2011.
I basically found another way or an interesting way of getting myself known to an employer since its very
competitive out there to get a job or work experience or internship. by watching these series as a student you will gain knowledge of how to up things up and set your game right and keep fighting until something comes up.

there were questions like are young people lazy to work?

or do they just want to feed from their parents only?

or are they bothered with the job because its not what they are looking for?

Kindly have a look at the link given and share your thoughts what you think about todays employment and young people even employers who might think we don't fit in or qualify or overly qualify for a job.

5B Going back to the points given at 5A (code of practice/ regulations)

As candidates we ought to make code of ethics meaningful and effective.  
Vital for codes of ethics to have widespread staff involvement and for staff to be assigned to mange the operation, updating and disciplinary processes.  


Some Code of ethics is widely regarded as being effective, so the question here is what do we need to do thoroughly to let it take place. 
Code of ethics are primilarly designed to convince the customers that the company is a trust worthy organization and the company is trying its up most best to deliver its best as possible especially in delivering a five star service.   


Secondly codes are seen by staff as top management service to comply with and follow the rules given. Its also design to stop theft or misuse of the companies resources and stop and misbehavior. 


 A code can be a statement of values or it can be statement of ethical issues that staffs are likely to encounter, and the expected behavior of staff when faced with their issues or it can be a combination of both in which is the model that we advocate. 
Statement of values as statements like be ethical act with integrity or being honest with customers.  


Despite providing specific guidelines on many of the ethical issues with in the industry the code sets out a multitude of exhortations. 


I also think the code provides a guideline or at best offers a very general guideline on some of the difficult contentious issues in which we encounter   The code that identifies ethical issues sometimes termed code of conduct is more useful than the values statement. it sets out to identify the issues that an employee might encounter and defines what the organization or profession considers acceptable conduct.  


For instance as an employee if you don’t clock in and out you wouldn’t get paid the full amount you have worked for and if you don’t comply with the rules and regulations of grooming you would be dismissed.  


On the other hand as guest come into the hotel and they see a certain staff well groomed they are able to tell that they have standards and they are well polished in the chosen field they are in and are able to deliver a five star service Code of ethics that steer up framework in my work place.

5a considering ethics in my place of work

In regards to the statement being made connecting luxury to lifestyle

St Pancras has brought forth a good deal of effort by using the iconic historical gothic building into fashion trend or using parts of the building as patterns to create certain luxurious design in other to grasp people attention and make them buy a certain product.

For instant due to the history of the building and the values of the gothic building despite all of the odds given and negativity,  designers and architects transformed all the negative design into positive by using parts of the building to create nice design for pamphlets, gift bags etc

After its great opening ST PANCRAS Station is set to become an airport-style shopping destination, with brands including Mulberry, Cartier, Smythson and Prada already being linked with the development. Cath Kidston was the first retailer to open her station-based branch yesterday, the Evening Standard reports

The development follows the opening of the five-star chosen flagship Marriott Renaissance Hotel and Searcys Champagne bar in the station - as well as an offering of serviced apartments in the station. I remembered this part during the massive recession there were thousands of champagnes being served and variety of performers were invited and displayed a great deal of show.

Lily cole was used to represent the gothic iconic building despite the odds it was said the building couldn’t deliver and it failed its purposed to serve.

At the end of the result due to its immense beauty a buyer bought this Victorian piece and it was transformed to an awesome beauty.

A designer should not only make things that look good but also be able to help explain the value of what they design in a larger context
