EquityAn example of a previous work experience where I had to demonstrate fairness was when I coached a high school girls' soccer team for The Study School in Montreal, Quebec. I was put in a position where the most talented and successful player on the team missed a practice before a playoff game. Team rules were agreed and a commitment contract was signed by each player at the start of the season. One of these rules of engagement was that all players were required to attend all practices unless a validly excused absence and a signed note were presented, otherwise the player would be benched for the next game. Excused absences were considered medical appointments or academic meetings. These team rules were in place to ensure engagement and fairness among players. Additionally, all players who attended practice, regardless of skill level, were expected to have the opportunity to play. My action, after a player missed training, was to find out her reasons and whether it was an excused absence. After determining that her absence was for frivolous reasons, I implemented the agreed-upon discipline and the player was to attend the playoff game but would remain seated on the bench for the duration. Despite the fact that benching this particular player would impact our chances of progressing beyond the playoff game, it was more important to maintain consistency and fair treatment of all players. The result of this decision resulted in our team losing the playoff game. However, the player learned a valuable lesson about commitment and fairness and that although she was talented, she was not exempt from the rules that everyone had to adhere to. Additionally, the team learned that the commitment... middle of paper ... is also difficult to endure when trying to bring the car in for service. Even though it took a year to complete and it probably would have been easier to drop the case, it was more important that the dealership correct its unethical behavior and take responsibility for its actions, and that future consumers do not suffer this unfortunate experience. that I had. Thanks to my persistence, we were recently able to meet with the franchise owner to try to resolve our issues. After explaining the events that previously occurred, we were able to reach a negotiated outcome. A conclusion was eventually reached where both parties parted ways with mutual understanding and both parties came out better for it. This experience taught me that although it is an arduous and difficult task, it is ultimately best to follow the guidelines of proper ethics..
