Business Ethics
Will your employees make the right decision?
What would they do? We all face ethical decisions in the workplace, and in many cases the answer isn't black or white. Ethics: The L.O.G.I.C. of Right, will help your employees make the legal and ethical decision - no matter how difficult. Protect your organization from the cost of unethical behavior - devastating lawsuits, negative publicity, wasted time, loss of money, and low employee morale. Length: 22 minutes
Length: 55 minutes Explore the problems bedeviling the ethics-building efforts of organizations through this trilogy of programs from Dr. Marianne Jennings. The courses examine pressing topics, including the flaws of the gray-area myth, a lack of understanding why ethics matters, the culture of silence and fear of retaliation, and the pressures that compromise ethical decision-making. Using eye-opening stories and real-life examples, the programs provide strategies that can help you address, if not resolve these issues. Ethics Is A Competitive Advantage builds a strong case for why ethics matters and explains why the gray-area myth is detrimental to business; Speaking Up Without Fear explains how you can get around the culture of silence and draw out the issues in other ways; Ethical Leadership: Tone at all Levels explores how people can handle the pressure and how every employee sets the tone of an organization's ethical culture in word and deed.
Length: 20 minutes "Why do Ethics matter?" Through real-world examples, data, and research Dr. Marianne Jennings teaches why ethical organizations' performance and credibility in the marketplace is better than non-ethical organizations due to the sustainable business models that come from being ethical. Ethical Lapses Really Cost
Length: 20 minutes This course teaches the importance of speaking up and communicating when you are aware of a misstep, why it is everyone's responsibility, and how organizations can most effectively draw out the issues. Dr. Marianne Jennings educates on the importance of speaking up through data, personal research on whistleblowers, and real-world examples.
Length: 20 minutes In this course Dr. Marianne Jennings teaches the importance of the example that all employees are setting from the bottom to the top. Dr. Jennings uses the analysis of pressure, communication, personal complacency, and indifference to educate that the "tone" of ethics resonates with each and every employee.
 The 5 Waves of Trust is a power-packed DVD containing eight separate video segments. The series is based on the premise that there are various layers of trust to which today's leaders must be attuned: Self Trust, Relationship Trust, Organizational Trust, Market Trust and Societal Trust. Each of the videos is designed to build awareness and spark discussion in one or more of these areas.
- The Speed of Trust (5:26) Explains how trust ("the one thing that affects everything") can yield great dividends within organizations once people recognize its power and economic impact. - The High Cost of Low Trust (1:02) Explores the escalating costs caused by low trust in our organizations and society.
- Self Trust (6:26) Depicts the four core qualities inherent in all trustworthy people (integrity, intent, capabilities and competency). Real-life examples from the world of professional tennis and an operating room in Perth, Australia are shown.
- Relationship Trust (4:08) A personal story from Stephen M.R. Covey about leading the merger of two companies and how the experience taught him to consistently live the "13 Behaviors of High Trust". - Race to the Pole (10:58) A thought-provoking documentary on the 1911 race to claim the South Pole. Viewers see a comparison of two experienced explorers-how each prepared for the trek, how they led their teams, and how each leader's personal credibility affected the perilous journey.
- Organizational Trust (5:50) A fascinating story of how a hospital surgical team vastly improved their processes and success rates by training with a Ferrari pit-crew team.
- Market Trust (5:10) Brand loyalty (and, increasingly, employee recruitment efforts) are dependent on an organization's reputation. Watch how one company, Johnson & Johnson, dealt with the problem of restoring trust when faced with a catastrophe.
- Societal Trust (3:50) Shows how Indian entrepreneur Harish Hande gave back to society by building a business enterprise that not only generates income but also benefits rural Indians and the environment. As a bonus, The 5 Waves of Trust DVD also contains a "tonesetter" video which you can show onscreen during breaks. The Tonesetter features a countdown clock, music and quotes related to the topic of trust.

 An increasing trend in businesses today is to prove to stakeholders it operates as a good corporate citizen. In order to achieve this, businesses are developing key policies and practices centering around business ethics and socially responsible management. This program explores the practical ways organizations are integrating business ethics and social responsibility into all aspects of its operations. In addition it examines the structure and purpose of the Corporate Responsibility Index (CRI) as a means of benchmarking corporate responsibility.
 Lay a strong foundation for building and maintaining healthy corporate ethics. Program contains short dramatic vignettes that demonstrate typical every day situations of employees exhibiting questionable ethics. As your managers struggle with the issues of ethics in the workplace, they may realize that your employees often do not have a clear understanding of the difference between ethical and unethical business practices. The success of organizations who train their employees on ethics offers proof that honesty really is the best policy - for both your organization and your employees. That's why it's critical for you to clearly communicate exactly what the ethical and moral expectations are for your employees. Your organization's bottom line depends on it! Values and Ethics can help your organization reduce wasted time and money, while increasing employee morale, confidentiality and productivity. Synopsis Values and Ethics is a series of 12 short dramatic What Would You Do? vignettes. Each situation is followed by a short video break to allow for group discussion. After each discussion, you can summarize by communicating your organization's policy on the situation presented. Some video situations include:
Participants will learn to use the three-step checklist to decide if each situation is ethical: 1) Is it legal? 2) Is it a win-win situation? 3) Would you do the same thing if someone you respected were watching? Key Training Points:

In an age when consumers and investors alike are gravitating toward companies whose brands they can trust, it's no longer enough to be solely focused on the bottom line. Timberland is proof that profit-minded companies can build on their success while "doing well" for shareholders and "doing good" for communities. Jeffrey Swartz firmly believes in commerce, and that profits for Wall Street are necessary—but not sufficient. He also believes in commitment: to the basic human rights of everyone involved in the Timberland value chain; to minimizing Timberland's impact on the environment; and to the notion of engaged citizenship that encourages us to take the resources we have and find the will to create sustainable solutions that are good for everybody. $129.99 [Add to Cart]

Southwest Airlines started with a simple idea, and managed to stick with it through decades of unprecedented growth. Many have tried (but failed) to emulate their success. According to Colleen Barrett, the idea is so simple, nobody quite believes it: customers return because they like the experience and they like the way they are treated. But how do you keep your customers this satisfied? By keeping your employees satisfied. Barrett spends 70-80% of her time assuring that her employees are valued as people, and encouraged to do the right thing rather than doing things right. She acknowledges that you can't expect employees to be saints, but you can expect integrity and commitment to the team. Her guiding rule is to hire on attitude and then train for skills, seeking individuals who will take the business—but not themselves—seriously. $129.99 [Add to Cart]

From creative accounting to outright dishonesty, businesses behaving badly have headlined newspapers across the country. After years of "greed is good," integrity is once again in vogue. But, has the pendulum swung back too far? In this frank discussion, Pam Lopker questions whether recent legislation will be successful in its attempts to codify and enforce virtue from the outside. She argues that survival, rather than regulation, will drive ethical business practices—that to be successful in the long run, an undercurrent of values must permeate all aspects of your organization. You have to look at every transaction from the point of view of the customer, the employee, and the community, and ask, "Am I doing the right thing for this stakeholder?" Ultimately, this perspective is not only virtuous—it is also your best strategy for success. $129.99 [Add to Cart] In today’s business climate, simply having an ethics policy in place isn’t enough.

Just because a particular choice is legal does not make it right. Seeing legal compliance as the goal of ethics rather than the starting point can lead to poor decision making with disastrous consequences for the individuals involved and their organizations. Compliance is essential, but it's not enough. This new 2-part series Compliance is Just the Beginning presents an easy-to-learn approach that will help employees at all levels make better ethical decisions. Program One, 3 Steps to Ethical Decisions (24 minutes), introduces the process. We hear from a former Enron executive as well as six ethics experts who discuss the pressures people can feel that may lead them to make poor decisions. We explore the importance of being aware of our core values as well as the standards of behavior expected by our organizations and our communities. Most importantly, we learn the 3 steps we can each take when faced with a tough ethical choice to help us make the best possible decision. Program Two, Ethical Situations to Consider (32 minutes), presents us with 8 dramatized scenarios. These stories represent familiar ethical issues most of us will face at some time. By discussing these situations and applying the 3 Steps process in each case, employees gain valuable practice and reinforcement. Program includes: Two videos or DVDs, a comprehensive facilitation package that includes course outlines, training activities, reproducible handouts, and optional PowerPoint slides.
