Working in an environment with unethical employees can have negative consequences on organizational trust, team-building, communication, and morale. Ethical behavior tends to be a broad term encompassing accountability, professionalism, and respect. This can make pinpointing behaviors to change difficult. In addition, sometimes individual character changes are in order, but sometimes, a company needs to systematically change its culture.
According to the Ethics Research Center, 62% of workers in large companies without ethics programs witness misconduct, compared to 33% of workers in large companies with effective ethics programs. The study also showed that within companies with ethics programs, the instances of pressure and retaliation among coworkers fall to 4%.
In this instructor-led course, you will learn how to pinpoint unethical behavior, create a plan for an effective ethics program, and deal with unethical coworkers. As a result, you will be able to build organizational trust, have greater integrity when approaching problems, have increased respect among workers, and establish clear standards of ethical behavior.
