Ethical Decisions at Work
A practical programme in ethical decisions at work, connecting working concepts with team decisions and relevant workplace examples.
About the Course
This programme develops a working approach to ethical decisions at work in the context of management priorities and execution. Participants move from understanding the main concepts to examining a case, testing alternatives and explaining a practical recommendation. The three modules focus on ethical dilemmas, conflicts of interest and escalation. Examples are selected after the training brief so that they reflect the responsibilities and experience of the participant group.
Course Objectives
- Explain the role of ethical dilemmas and identify the information required for a reliable assessment.
- Use a structured worksheet to examine conflicts of interest and compare reasonable alternatives.
- Identify assumptions, missing evidence and implementation concerns related to escalation.
- Prepare a decision brief with responsibilities and performance measures for discussion with a manager and team.
- Translate the exercise into a workplace action plan with owners, review points and measurable progress.
