Business Ethics -
Why & How

In today's competitive world, ethical behavior may at times seem secondary to more pressing business and personal goals. However, the impact of your employees' ethical choices can be just as significant as the impact of your business decisions. Just one poor choice could land your organization in a reputation-damaging scandal, expose valuable intellectual property to hackers or cause you to incur significant personal and organizational fines, or worse. In this session, attendees will learn to recognize common business ethics issues and the associated best practices to avoid personal and organizational harm.
Cost: $10
