Setting ethical standards in the workplace often begins and ends in the HR department. Unfortunately, it takes more than just crafting a code of ethics and declaring that all in the organization must follow it. Research has shown that for a code of ethics to be effective, it needs to be “woven into” the organization. This class will explain and explore HR’s role in establishing a culture of ethics and procedural fairness as well as discuss in detail what makes a great ethics policy.

With our expert instructor, you’ll take a hands-on approach and examine common ethical issues that arise in tribes and tribal organizations across the country. You’ll work through actual case studies involving ethical dilemmas and discuss possible solutions for HR departments. Your instructor will guide you through the process of establishing and enforcing high ethical standards in the workplace. You’ll also learn how to develop an ethics code, address violations, ensure compliance and enforce the code.

Whether your organization currently suffers from ethical violations or you want to be proactive in preventing them, don’t let your organization be plagued by ethical problems. Register for this important course today!
