Overview

Many organizations enact codes and provide training and assessments to improve unethical conduct among their employees. While these steps are necessary, they may be insufficient and even counterproductive, unless the organization is prepared to deep-dive into the behavior of its employees, to find out whether they truly believe that ethical behavior is appreciated and rewarded.

In order to do so, the organization must be able to identify destructive power imbalances in employee relationships resulting in workplace bullying, harassment, and favoritism, and assess whether these have been adequately addressed, as this has a direct bearing whether misconduct is reported.

In this workshop, participants will learn to recognize indicators of poor ethical culture in their organization. They will also through case studies and discussions, learn how to identify destructive power imbalances in employee relationships, and how this can be addressed. They will also be exposed to various accountability mechanisms that can be used to increase ethical behavior in the organization, and reduce the risk of misconduct.
