The work on Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Accessibility and Antiracism (IDEA) tends to focus on an “ethics of justice”. The ethics of justice is grounded in abstract moral principles, the defence of formal rights and social atomism on minimal rules of coexistence.
In contrast, the ethics of care focuses the attention on the particularities, the mutual relation with the other, the sympathy and the responsibility. It values not only the formal rules, but other sentimental elements which give sense to interpersonal relations. Caring should be a foundation for ethical decision-making; care is basic in human life – that all people want to be cared for and be in a state of being in relation, characterized by receptivity, and relatedness. In this sense, while the ethics of justice has a cognitive sense, the ethics of care gives a main role to the emotions and virtues.
This ethic requires not only a vocational attitude, which is essential, but also the development of other attitudes and virtues necessary to convert a minimum into a maximum: the correct practice and professional excellence. Our virtues are the following:
These virtues embody our ethics of care that is necessary to promote professional excellence. Professionals should always aspire to excellence.
Our mission is to empower organizations to embrace these principles through comprehensive assessments, strategic interventions, and transformative learning experiences.
