Business Ethics Workshop
|
One thing almost guaranteed to give your business a rough time is an ethical lapse in judgment. It can result in legal action, lawsuits, boycotts, negative publicity, and lost business.
You know what business ethics are all about, so this Workshop doesn't lecture. That's not how change will occur anyway. What I do in the Workshop is generate some critical thinking about ethics standards, and we review ethics issues and examples elsewhere.
Having employees from management level to "the floor" involved in this dialogue is useful. We spend some time discussing how to be sure that ethics problems faced by other businesses or organizations don't occur in your workplace.
The definition of an "excellent workplace" includes finding ways to be sure that employees and your customers are ethically and fairly treated. They should expect no less, and it's good for business when you assure that kind of standard.
Through the years, I've found that there are very few "secrets" in either politics or business, and I've been deeply involved in both. That said, the reputation of your own business or organization - - and YOUR reputation as a person - - is affected by everything you do. My Business Ethics Workshop is worth your time and effort.

Perhaps the most exciting part of this Workshop is toward the end of the discussion, where the participants come up with an Ethics Compact of their own making, based on the discussions they just had. Having them take ownership of that Compact that they themselves create makes everyone aware of the value of ethics in your workplace.
