Program Goal:  Provide HR professionals with immediately applicable ideas and tools to recognize often costly but often unseen or ignored risks for professional ethics difficulties in themselves as well as their colleagues, co-workers, and organizations. The emphasis will be on helping attendees learn how to develop and implement strategies to prevent ethics problems before they occur rather than – as is more typically done in most organizations – paying the steep price for catching problems after they have already occurred. 

Intended Outcomes for Participants:

1. Identify at least four common but often unseen or ignored ‘red flags’ for ethics risks in themselves, others, and their organizations.
2. Identify a minimum of two previously unseen personal risk factors for ethics problems and be capable of more effectively monitoring for further ethics risks over time.
3. Articulate the practical and strategic value of effective ethics and values training for their organizations.  

Speaker Methodology: The body of knowledge is delivered in an interactive presentation format. The presenter is both animated and engaging, making use of props, visual learning aids, and interactive activities to keep the audience fully engaged.  The tone of the program is conversational, the style interactive, and the primary focus is on ‘real-world’ applications. These combine to increase the likelihood of attendees having a simultaneously enjoyable, personally meaningful, and practical experience with an essential topic (professional ethics) that many HR professionals presume to be dry, academic, and difficult to apply in a personally meaningful manner.
