Overview:
Ethical and legal issues often present difficult choices in decision making for employers and employees, especially in the absence of a clearly accepted standard. Research has indicated when legal requirements and ethical expectations are clearly defined, understood and demonstrated, employees have more trust and confidence in the process. With an emphasis on reviewing and applying appropriate legal and ethical standards, this course will provide participants with the tools necessary to identify, address and resolve potential legal and ethical issues in a fair and consistent manner. A variety of hands-on instructional methods such as roleplay, case studies, group discussions and coached practice will be employed.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
• Describe the alignment of values and legal and ethical issues.
• Analyze and distinguish between legal and ethical workplace situations.
• Apply problem-solving and decision-making strategies involving ethical and legal issues.
• Develop a plan for fostering an environment of integrity and honesty.
