Code of Conduct Training: Setting the Tone for Your Workplace

Go here to see the main website.

It is crucial for people in any society to understand what glues them all together. You will likely come up with a few answers to this question: mutual gain, similar preferences, political beliefs and cultural norms, and ethics. Because it draws inspiration from society, businesses have many of the same elements. However, each business has its own unique set of components. It is not easy to create a code for conduct. This requires both philosophical understanding and prudent judgement, which can be gained through courses such as ours.

Participants will learn the basics and principles of business ethics through Code Of Conduct Training. They will ask philosophical questions and receive the answers that philosophers have provided throughout history.

Business ethics are essential for every company. It is what defines their vision and mission, how they treat employees and customers. Professionals will be able to understand the ethical principles that drive a company's decisions and work with companies that share their values. This loyalty will result in greater productivity and morale among employees, as well as better business models and key decision-making for companies. The training course will help participants understand their work and the values they represent. It also provides tools that help them to address ethical issues within their company.

Code of Conduct Training: Setting the Tone for Your Workplace Sessions

Learn the Differences of Morality and Ethics

In order to attain a better understanding of business ethics, it is necessary for participants to be able to distinguish between personal morality and the philosophical discipline that is ethics in general. The benefit of this cannot be understated: it’s what allows individuals to truly appreciate the value of professionalism by allowing them to understand that there are things much higher than themselves that, rather ironically, already exist within them. For example, all people have asked at one point what they should do to one another, but whereas personal morality consists of dealing with everyday contexts, ethics raises the very same question to address the very fabric of a society or, rather properly, a business. This training course will therefore help participants appreciate a company’s aims by engaging in dialogue about the differences of both morality and ethics.

Learn How Philosophical Beliefs Impact Ethical Considerations

Much of our own personal convictions and even the company values that we adopt are the result of thousands of years of tension and philosophical argument. The British philosopher John Stuart Mill, for example, would echo the utilitarian school of thought which argues that the most moral actions are those which produce the maximum satisfaction. Another philosopher would be Immanuel Kant, who argues that truly moral actions are those which do not treat people as means to an end. There are many more that can be stated here, but as participants will find in this training course, each of these philosophical thoughts can affect the very company culture they may find themselves under, how companies address these customers, and even their personal beliefs.

Create Informed Ethical Principles

The goal of this training course is not just to teach philosophy and relate it to business, but allow participants and leaders to create their very own ethical framework to influence the way companies are run. How should companies address customers? What should we do to keep employees satisfied? How should our company culture proceed? How should we address insubordination? These are just some of the questions that are effectively answered by informed usage of ethical principles. Indeed, what makes this very much unique from the philosophical frameworks mentioned earlier is the variation of answers within the class. Not only will informed ethical principles rise from within the papers of our participants, but a consensus may even be established which companies can use to their advantage!

Create a Manifesto: A Written Code Of Conduct

As mentioned earlier, business ethics is all about thinking of ethical principles and making very informed decisions based on them. However, companies often have to write their ethical principles in rule books and plaster them on office walls to truly make their ethical thoughts manifest. This has to be done in order to make sure that professionals are truly aware of your team’s ethical principles, and more importantly, allow them to truly appreciate what you stand for as a company. Indeed, a strong code of conduct will not dispel inaccurate images and rumors about a company; it can even reach as far as your customer base, by showing them that you truly have their interests at heart through superior customer service.

Learn Flexible Ethical Decision Making

As with any solid plan, however, there are only so many things that one can reasonably predict and keep doing in order to maintain it. Even codes of conduct are not immune from this and can even create ethical dilemmas that could easily put a roadblock on a company’s capacity for decision-making. Worse yet, this roadblock can even extend across teams, forcing them to either halt production or go against a company’s ethical beliefs, both of which are detrimental in their own ways. It is therefore very important to not just have a theoretical understanding of ethics, but a practical one, allowing participants and leaders to stay on their ethical toes even under constant pressure and stress.
