Unit 301

A code of practice is lots of rules and regulations written for you to tell you how people working in a profession should behave and tell you what wrong and right. They describe the professional conduct and practice required as the working people go to go their daily work.

1.1) the purpose of meetings is so that it gives people a chance to catch up in private with time put aside for any issues they have. Whereas just sat at your desk it’s easy to get distracted and not give yourself anytime to review the topics that need looking at. For example team meetings are useful because it gives the whole team a change to get together and discuss anything they have to raise or let the team know something important all at once when everyone is available.

A code of ethos serves three main functions to communicate the ideals of a profession, it is a guide for professional conduct, and provides standards for the profession.

The purpose of this standard is to keep cultural differences and how to handle and what to do fresh in the minds of the employees and providing them with up to date, useable information.

1.4 Within an organization there are many principles within a code of conduct and code of practice. These are a selection

The professional work environment needs a set of rules and codes to ensure that the organisation is being operated in an efficient and businesslike manner. By providing a document that all employees must follow creates uniformity and consistency throughout the workplace. The implementation of a code of conduct establishes the standard of behaviour and performance that is expected from an employee. Another aspect of the professional work environment is a dress code, or lack thereof. Many workplaces have dress codes, particularly workplaces in industries in which image is highly valued and workplaces in which employees have regular face-to-face contact with customers.

The purpose of the ethical code of practice, is to allow the press to function "in accordance with the canons decency, principle of professional conduct and precepts of freedom and responsibility, to serve the public interest by ensuring an unobstructed flow of news and views to the people envisaging that honesty, accuracy, objectivity and fairness shall be the guide line for the press while serving the public interest."

A work plan is an outline of a set of goals and processes by which a person can accomplish those goals, offering the reader a better understanding of the scope of the project. Through work plans, you break down a process into small, achievable tasks and identify the things you want to accomplish. Creating a work plan can make people understand their job objectives, goals, and help to achieve goals and tasks efficiently.

Approved code of practice consent from law and gives a legal practical advice to all the workers who are involved in construction work. If we follow all the advice from the ACOP we able to comply with the law in a good manner and our work will become easier.

Writing the project plan provides a structured framework for thinking about how the project will be conducted. A significant value of writing a project plan is the process rather than the outcome. It forces the players to think through their approach and make decisions about how to proceed. A project plan can be formal, as stakeholders and supporters approve documents and procedures used to guide both project execution and project control. Overall, project plans create a system of document forecast assumptions and decisions, push communication amongst stakeholders, substantiate approved scope, cost and schedule baselines.

The purpose for a code of conduct is to help the organization to establish the assurance within a company, it will also touch upon the cultural ethics of the company while maintaining the legal and ethical policies and system for the decision making process. Not to exclude the core values and principle of the company, this will be established by a committee, here they will analysis the codes of conduct and bring them back yearly.

Planning involves setting objectives and determining a course of action for achieving these goals. Planning requires managers to be aware of their environmental conditions facing their organisation and forecast future conditions. And also requires managers to make quick and beneficial decisions.

Planning is the connector of the tasks. Eventhough some tasks can be done together, there are some that can only being done when the others are finished. A complex project might caused thousands of labour coordinate to fulfil the plan with more time and more funds. Therefore a scheduling is an important component from the planning fuction.

Code of Conduct guidelines must be practical, compliable and of dynamic essence. The guidelines should encompass a reactive and proactive approach, thus should consider past experiences that touched our organization’s fiber, as to future challenges and potential risks that could be avoided or minimized if we plan ahead.

Developing a work plan that outlines the tasks to be completed and the expected results and how to measure it in order to evaluate performance.
