Managing to Our Standard of Ethics
(INCLUDES A WHISTLEBLOWER FOCUS)
This interactive, practical course provides essential training to your supervisory employees in everyday language regarding your code of conduct and how it applies to them as leaders. The customized content equips managers and supervisors with the tools to ensure consistency in compliance and to better understand when and how to escalate potential policy violations. Participants quickly come to appreciate that your corporate values and code are critical guideposts for effective daily management. Teaching tools such as customized role-plays, hypotheticals and other interactive techniques stress real life examples.
Recent whistleblower statutes and other legislation arguably give employees an incentive to reach out directly to governmental agencies, especially if employers do not maintain a culture of compliance and encourage employees to use internal compliance channels. This means that training managers to respond appropriately and effectively to complaints and to preserve an atmosphere where employees feel comfortable raising their concerns within the organization has never been more important. Simple scripts are provided to enable managers to confidently respond to complaints and support your open-door commitment to every employee.
The course also can link code sections to managers’ EEO obligations, and can cover a wide variety of topics, including accuracy of records; vendor/customer representations and records; accounting and billing practices (including reimbursement); payroll records; marketing; product labeling; acceptance and giving of gifts; outside employment/ownership in other businesses; financial reporting; and political contributions/lobbying. In sum, Managing to Our Standard of Ethics teaches your supervisory teams to spot issues before they affect the workplace or blossom into claims. Further, the course ensures that when internal complaints do arise, they are handled consistently and appropriately, and without employees fearing retaliation.
