Ethics Training for the Workplace

Imagine a world where everyone lived by the same code of ethics. We would all believe the same things were right and wrong; we’d all have the same hard-working gumption; we’d all trust each other implicitly; and we’d never have to reprimand others for their behavior.

This course discusses the importance of having a workplace code of ethics — a code of conduct that is expected and required of all employees. Participants will have the chance to evaluate their own ethical beliefs and discuss how to take a more ethical approach back at the workplace.
