Talking About Ethics: Build Trust, Teams, and Culture Through Workplace Ethics Discussions

Every day, in every industry, employees struggle with ethical decisions.

Traditional ethics and compliance training focuses on important but obvious issues, spelled out in black and white. Real life is more ambiguous, nuanced with shades of grey.

How can leaders build the trust, teams, and culture that prepare employees for complex ethical issues?

This book gives leaders practical tools to conduct a year of ethics discussions with their teams. It provides twelve brief, ambiguous scenarios that are easily adaptable to different industries. Each scenario comes with discussion suggestions and an optional engagement activity. You could pick up this book in an airport and be prepared for your first discussion by the time you land.

Ethical decision-making protects employees, reputations, and assets, improves retention, and strengthens engagement. When something is that important, we should talk about it.
