Workplace is such an important factor in the company's well being. Its "the place" where everyone working spend half of their lifetime. May be in the same company or different.
Environment
The Workplace environment must be conducive for productivity, productivity in the sense, every minute spent by the workforce must create value. The environment plays a major role creating value withing and outside the company. Its very important that everyone within the company is aware of everything and everyone within the company. This is possible only through proper communication and transparency. Adequate communication and proper transparency ensures that every employee is aware of the happenings within the company. IT is most important that every employee feels like coming to work rather than drags himself or herself to work.
Cleanliness, Security and Employee Benefits (other)
Another important factor that needs to be taken care is cleanliness. The work place inside and outside MUST be absolutely clean. This means the actual work area, toilets, bathrooms, common rooms, pantry, the entire premise. This creates a healthy environment and healthier employees.
Security is one aspect of your company that needs urgent attention all the time. What does security truly mean? Does it mean to have a Guard at your Gate 24 X 7? Well No. It means that there is internal security that is security of the employees in terms of their physical security as well security of the clients materials provided. Security also means taking care of physical well being of your employees. For example: Fire hazard training, training on usage of premise (the premise must be well marked with information in all areas), information on all departments. Not just once but every time the opportunity arises or at a certain frequency
Employee benefits is like an every day "perk". Clean drinking water, tea /coffee, snacks. How does it make a difference? This takes the company from being just a company to being a "Family". However this must be extended to each and everyone equally. I have been through an experience where though it was termed the company being a family, only a select few had the privileges. Obviously I was not one of them. Didnt really make any difference, however I saw my colleagues who used to fret on this and the result was shown on their performance. For me they were always performing a step below their actual capability.

Wow! another important and interesting factor. It is rather the most important factor. Workplace ethics not only means to dress properly or behave properly. It goes beyond these factors. And most importantly it needs to be observed by each member right from the Senior Management to the all levels of the workforce. For example if it is mandatory that all employees have an identity card and must be visible at all times in the premises, IT IS A MUST that everyone has it. IF there are designated areas for employees, like for example smoking zones etc. they need to be applicable to all.
