How do
you make better ethical decisions at work?
Just because a particular choice is legal does
not make it right. Seeing legal compliance as the goal
of ethics rather than the starting point can lead to
poor decision making with disastrous consequences for
the individuals involved and their organizations.
Compliance is essential, but it's not enough.
Series
Objectives
QMR's new
series Compliance is Just the Beginning presents
an easy-to-learn approach that will help employees at
all levels make better ethical decisions.
Program
Contents
Program One,
3 Steps to Ethical Decisions (24 minutes),
introduces the process. We hear from a former Enron
executive as well as six ethics experts who discuss the
pressures people can feel that may lead them to make
poor decisions. We explore the importance of being aware
of our core values as well as the standards of behavior
expected by our organizations and our communities. Most
importantly, we learn the 3 steps we can each take when
faced with a tough ethical choice to help us make the
best possible decision. These are:
-
The
Compliance Test
-
The Ripple
Effect
-
The Gut
Check
Program Two,
Ethical Situations to Consider (32 minutes),
presents us with 8 dramatized scenarios. These stories
represent familiar ethical issues most of us will face
at some time. By discussing these situations and
applying the 3 Steps process in each case,
employees gain valuable practice and reinforcement.
Support
Materials
The programs
come with a comprehensive facilitation package
that includes course outlines, training activities,
reproducible handouts, and optional PowerPoint slides.
As with all QMR programs, this series can be delivered
on video, DVD or online streamed media.
Compliance is Just The Beginning
is also available in Spanish.
