3. What I Do For a Living
And why that matters for
this program
5. Forget KumbayaâŠ
ï¶Ethics training is more than a âfeel-goodâ exercise.
Your company is likely losing 5-7% of your bottom
line each year to ethics-related issues.
ï¶Ethics training â done right â can recoup as much
as half of those losses and possibly even more.
6. Key #1
You canât really train on
ethics untilâŠ
7. âŠyou actually know what
ethics are and arenât.
You need to differentiate ethics from:
ï¶compliance
ï¶policies and procedures
ï¶mission and vision
8. Next
You need to get very clear about:
ï¶what ethics do mean in your organization.
ï¶behavioralize ethics. (What exactly do
employees need to do and not do to bring your
definition of ethics to life?)
9. Key #2
Employees need to be able to
âCâ your ethics training.
10. To do the best job, your training
needs to be:
ï¶ Clear
ï¶ Concise (without compromising clarity)
ï¶ Comprehensive (without being overwhelming!)
14. Oh, and umâŠ
Who actually gets ethics training in your
organization?
Remember, the integrity of your organization
is being judged all day, every day on the
basis of everybodyâs behavior from the front
lines up through senior management.
17. If your ethics training isnât practical,
youâre sunk
ï¶ Remember âeasily appliedâ.
ï¶ Provide not just information but easily applied ideas, tools, and
resources.
ï¶ If it sounds academic, youâve probably lost them.
ï¶ If it sounds preachy, youâve probably lost them.
ï¶ If it sounds too good to be true, youâve probably lost them.
ï¶ If itâs âfor the good of the businessâ and not also clearly for their
good, youâve probably lost them.
20. The Three âCâs and three âEâs
Donât MeanâŠ
ï¶a dry, academic, un-applied program
ï¶a PowerPoint presentation of 200 rules
ï¶a lecture on âdoing the right thingâ
ï¶a ten point multiple choice test you canât fail.
(Or, really, even one you can failâŠ)
ï¶a one time dose of anything
21. Significant risks from missing the
live, interactive pieceâŠ
Live, interactive âeyes in the roomâ allow:
ï¶catching a lack of understanding of the ideas or how
best to apply them
ï¶informed conversations about barriers - whether real or
perceived - that your employees see to implementing
your training
ï¶a whole lot more fun
(PLEASE: No duds at the front of the room!)
22. Free Resources for You!
Hereâs an opportunity to request one or both of these
free resources.
Just select yes to add your email to the list to receive:
ï¶Weekly Ethics Thought - newsletter
ï¶Ethics/Values Self-Audit Tool - document
23. One Last ToolâŠ
Want to assure that youâre driving a culture of
ethics, compliance, and accountability?
A well-written, well-implemented values
statement is the ticket.
24. A Values Statement Done Right:
ï¶ tells every employee what the best way is to make a decision in
the absence of an existing rule or guideline
ï¶ helps every employee evaluate their actions â and the actions
of those around them â as to whether or not they align with
your most important, most persistent priorities
ï¶ gets everyone on the same page as to whatâs most important
all day, every day in your organization
25. A Values Statement Done
WrongâŠ
âŠis a dangerous thing.
The goal of a values statement is to get everyone
on the same train. Youâd better be sure youâre
getting them on the right trainâŠ
Need help getting yours done right?
