The current business climate and the many breaches of ethics by corporate officials demand that organizations actively pursue methods of assessing the ethical climate in the organization and follow the assessment with active management of ethics in the workplace. This workshop provides an opportunity for participants to review the role of ethics in the organization's operations and assess the effectiveness of its ethics programs.
Assessment is accomplished through the administration of a field-tested assessment instrument and a comprehensive review of the findings of the assessment through an interactive workshop. Our research indicates that the approach used by this instrument is effective because it invites the participants to express their personal views of the importance of key areas of ethics practice and contrast that contrast that with their view of the organization's actual ethics practices. The workshop methodology should enable the participants to utilize the instrument in their own organizations.
