What is the purpose?

Strategies
The world is filled with decisions to be made both in business and from a personal standpoint. All too often however, these worlds cross and an unethical decision could cause a scar on the company that could last indefinitely. In order to teach ethical behavior to the employees of a company one must first demonstrate the behavior themselves. Develop a culture of honesty, trust, and accountability that others will follow and in turn use in their own daily lives. A good standard Code of Ethics within any company will also place in writing the expectations a company has of its employees in the treatment of others, customers and co-workers alike. It is important to recruit, hire, and train management staff that will strictly abide by a Code of Ethics, employees are likely to follow their director and display the behavior shown to them in a presumed means of keeping their jobs intact. Good working strategies on teaching ethical behavior within the company are:
Ethics Training
Choose a training system that will work well within the company.
There are many available options for employee training on ethical decision making, such as; online courses, purchasable written material, and group session scenario guidelines. Try and avoid material that is outdated-these options tend to not grasp the attention of your employees, especially those of a younger generation. More time will be spent mocking the ‘out-dated’ attire then learning from the presentation. Be sure to include the Human Resources department to assist with training and selection of material, their roll should included much of the training involved in order to present materials from a legal and employee centered focus. Try to incorporate active learning-this will ignite the information in the minds of the employees when similar situations arrive. The training
