Most organizations provide ethics training, but does it make a difference? Is it just “checking a box” or does it change behaviors? Often, ethics training focuses on case studies and examples of organizations that made unethical decisions that led to fraud or scandal. But we already know the outcome, and therefore we also know the right answer. We aren’t learning how to evaluate situations and prevent them; we are only examining specific scenarios and their failures. For ethics training to drive positive behavior, it must teach ethical decision-making skills. It requires understanding subconscious influences, the significance of context, power of language, framing of issues, and causes of ethical blindness. This session will explain why corporate ethics training must go beyond informing employees of laws and organizational policies and instead focus on equipping employees with the skills to make sound ethical decisions.

Participants will:       

• Understand the decision-making process
• Examine why people behave unethically
• Understand the significance of context and the forms of context influencing decisions
• Learn how issue framing creates distortion and ethical blindness
• Examine how an organization's "language influences and drives behaviors.

In order to be awarded the full credits:

• For live meetings, you must sign in and complete your survey questionnaire
• For Internet-based meetings, you must respond to three out of the four polling questions asked during the program. 

Participants will earn 1.0 CPE credit
