— COURSE DESCRIPTION

Ethics isn’t just about following rules—it’s about making the right decisions when no one is watching, when shortcuts are tempting, and when the right path isn’t immediately obvious. Every day, employees face ethical decisions: whether to disclose a conflict of interest, how to handle confidential information, whether to report a colleague’s misconduct, or how to respond when asked to bend rules. The cumulative effect of these individual decisions shapes organizational culture, reputation, and success.

Organizations with weak ethical cultures face serious consequences—legal violations, regulatory penalties, damaged reputations, loss of customer trust, decreased employee morale, and financial losses. A single ethical lapse can undo years of good work. Yet many employees have never received formal ethics training and may not recognize ethical dilemmas or know how to resolve them.

This comprehensive course provides employees with a practical framework for ethical decision-making in workplace situations. Employees learn what ethics means in a business context, understand the six foundational principles of ethical behavior, explore their organization’s ethics program components, analyze real-world scenarios to apply ethical concepts, follow a structured process for making ethical decisions when faced with dilemmas, and know how to report ethics concerns through proper channels. The goal is creating a workplace where ethical behavior is the norm, not the exception.
