Strong workplace ethics, or the lack thereof, have had far-reaching consequences for companies and corporate leaders. This class will explore ethical frameworks, and it will differentiate between compliance and ethics. You will be challenged to think through the relationships and impacts of your decisions on your organization, as well as to consider the impact on shareholder value and other stakeholder effects from unethical behavior.

- Acquaint themselves with regulations that specifically address ethics in the workplace.
- Understand the difference between compliance and ethics.
- Think through relationships and impacts of their decisions on their organizations (both as employees and as employers).
- Idenfify impact on shareholder value and other stakeholder affects from unethical behavior.
"During the past six weeks in the Workplace Ethics course, I have gained invaluable insights that will significantly shape my leadership approach in the future. One of the most profound takeaways from the course was learning how to navigate ethical challenges in the workplace. It provided practical strategies for assessing and resolving ethical dilemmas, instilling confidence in my ability to make ethically sound decisions. The case studies, in particular, were highly influential in demonstrating the complexities of real-world ethical challenges."
