            Navigating Workplace Ethics

            Free Book for attending, a gift from Texoma HR! 

            Ethics... it's a topic we often discuss, but rarely address directly in the workplace. Yet, we all rely on signs to keep us on track in our careers. I call these “rules of the road,” and ignoring them can lead to serious pitfalls. Fortunately, we have a framework—a “code of conduct”—laid out in our handbooks to guide us. But the best code of conduct isn’t just written; it’s demonstrated through our actions and behaviors, especially when others are watching. It’s our culture in action.

            When was the last time you saw someone pull out the handbook to check the code of conduct during a challenge? Probably never. But what about when team members observe leaders navigating challenges? Their response will likely shape how others react in the future. This session will focus on some of those essential "rules of the road" that can guide us, our teams, business partners, and customers toward a partnership built on trust—even in the face of failure. These rules foster trust, increase influence, and ultimately build a team others can rely on. Buckle up and stay alert—our journey is about to begin!

            Learning Objectives:

            • Understand the importance of workplace ethics. 
            • Explore the impact of leading by example.
            • Identify ethical practices to apply at work.


              Lunch is included with your registration!

              Payment is required at registration and is non-refundable.
