Ethics and Integrity Training

Course Objective: To provide participants with a practical and theoretical perspective on ethics and integrity, their origin, cultural influences and effective monitoring systems to assist with effective implementation and change management.

Course aims: The course aims to facilitate a greater understanding by the participants of ethics and integrity and the key role these play in organizational success and failure, including its relation to the success of mergers and acquisitions. After finishing the course the participants will understand better how to inculcate ethics and integrity throughout an organization, how to monitor and measure performance in this key area of a business, and how to plan for successful cultural integration of merging entities. The course will also assist the participants in determining how to act ethically and to identify the results of any personal actions, both negative and positive.
