As social and compliance factors place managers under greater degrees of responsibility and scrutiny, employers should give clear instruction of what is expected when an employee discovers unethical behavior, including whom they should contact and how it will be managed.

Regardless of the organizational function, employees who fail to maintain an ethical standard in their workplace can raise the possibility of not only organizational fraud but also operational risk and legal exposures.  It is vital that all employees (and this must also include senior/executive and board-level management), conduct themselves in accordance with workplace policies, as well as applicable state, federal and as required, international laws.

This course will examine the timely and important topic of practicing and promoting ethical behavior in the workplace as a contributor to corporate compliance, governance, financial sustainability, employee retention and overall corporate wellbeing.
