Working in an environment with unethical behavior can have negative consequences on organizational trust, team building, communication, and morale. Sometimes individual character changes are in order, but other times a company needs to systematically change its culture.
In this course, participants will discover how to pinpoint unethical behavior, create a plan for an effective ethics policy, and deal with unethical co-workers. This will lead to building organizational trust, greater integrity when approaching problems, increased respect among workers, and it will establish standards of ethical behavior.
