 Business Ethics Release - 2009 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.
 This NewsHour program scrutinizes the state of business ethics in an America riddled with financial fraud. In segment one, correspondent Paul Solman and Columbia Business School’s Barbara Toffler cite Arthur Andersen and Stew Leonard, Sr., as examples of ethics gone awry. Segment two gathers the opinions of veteran business journalists Adam Smith, Carol Loomis, Allan Sloan, Jim Grant, and Andrew Tobias on the practices of Enron, Tyco, Morgan Stanley, and Merrill Lynch. And, after summarizing the evolution of compensation models in the stock analysis industry, segment three examines the conflicts of interest that have led investment stock analysts astray.

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. $99.99 [Add to Cart] This course is also available for online training, see details below.

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. $99.99 [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. $99.99 [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. Online Training Option: This program is also available over the web or over your company’s network. This option makes it is easy for you to deliver video to any employee’s desktop at any location with web access. The online program includes:
