ABOUT THE PROGRAM:
Participants will create a code of ethics -- a statement of shared ethical
values that builds bridges in the workplace, while guiding actions, behaviors,
decisions, policies, procedures (e.g. performance reviews) and strategic planning.
Learn proven methods for making a code a living, breathing, document.
Once a code has become institutionalized, employees (and even customers)
will become more engaged and more satisfied, which will improve end results.
In addition to increasing business performance, an embedded code will improve
recruitment and retention while reducing expenses related to turnover, legal
problems, and absenteeism.
In this interactive session, Peter will help participants:
· Understand the purpose of a code of ethics, its applications, and the difference between ethical and instrumental values.
· Develop a code of ethics via an engaging process (developed by the Institute for Global Ethics) that can be transferred to most any workplace that wishes to create a culture of integrity.
· Build bridges between different employees, stakeholder groups, and entities within an organizational system.
