Of all the places that I have worked, most of them have been a
division of a corporation. In fact, I am working another job now that is
part of a bigger corporation. I currently work for Dollar General
Distribution Center. I am the administrative assistant and have many
hats in that position. Within the dc, I have seen and experienced
corporate governance at its finest. We have clear roles and
responsibilities. I know what I am supposed to do every day. My
bosses know what they are supposed to do, and the general
warehouse workers know what they are supposed to do. We also
have policies, practices, procedures, and codes of conduct that have
to be followed. If these things aren't followed, there will be
consequences and those consequences could be the ultimate of
someone getting fired.
If you have a strong corporate governance, it should ensure that the
business environment is fair and transparent. It also helps to make
sure that the business is accountable. And last but not least, it can
also ensure that the social impact in society is the correct one.
