Values & Ethics: Situations for Discussion
Lay a strong foundation for building and maintaining healthy corporate ethics. Program contains short dramatic vignettes that demonstrate typical every day situations of employees exhibiting questionable ethics.
As your managers struggle with the issues of ethics in the workplace, they may realize that your employees often do not have a clear understanding of the difference between ethical and unethical business practices.
The success of organizations who train their employees on ethics offers proof that honesty really is the best policy - for both your organization and your employees. That’s why it’s critical for you to clearly communicate exactly what the ethical and moral expectations are for your employees. Your organization’s bottom line depends on it!
Values and Ethics can help your organization reduce wasted time and money, while increasing employee morale, confidentiality and productivity.
Synopsis
Values and Ethics is a series of 12 short dramatic “What Would You Do?” vignettes. Each situation is followed by a short video break to allow for group discussion. After each discussion, you can summarize by communicating your organization’s policy on the situation presented.
