082825 Webinar on Ethics: Workplace Strategies for Ethical Challenges
Every day, professionals face decisions that have ethical implications. And while the safety of the organization and the public is every professional’s primary concern, time, personal, and resource pressures can often challenge these commitments. Taking a proactive approach to workplace ethics is the best course to mitigate these risks, avoid legal implications, and build a working atmosphere of integrity, trust, and purpose. In this webinar, we will discuss how to develop a strong and sustainable set of workplace ethics and guidelines designed to mitigate ethics creep, avoid legal implications, and build a solid, ethical foundation for a healthy workplace culture. We will explore common ethical topics and challenges and will detail the best practices when faced with ethically challenging situations. Additionally, we will discuss the difference between a Code of Conduct and a Code of Ethics, and finally, we will review several effective scenarios for academic, private practice and public officials.
