Ethics training course helps the members of an organisation judge the moral legitimacy of their decisions, enabling them to apply moral principles and values in business decision-making.
A failure to live up to high standards can damage your reputation, lead to lengthy investigations and could involve possible prosecution. A good reputation is a key part of a company's commercial success. In a recession, the risk of unethical and potentially illegal conduct increases. A code of ethical business conduct is the first step towards managing that risk, but the critical challenge is to embed ethical values within your company's culture.
Training in Ethics helps the members of an organisation judge the moral legitimacy of their decisions, enabling them to apply moral principles and values in business decision-making. At the same time, ethics training fosters the employees' agreement and compliance with the organisation's ethical vision representing a mutually-acceptable balance between different stakeholders. Therefore, implementing ethics training does not only mean informing employees about choices made by the management of the company, but also putting each individual corporate member in a position to understand, interiorise and contribute to the corporate mission achievement through a conscious orientation of their own choices and everyday behaviour.
