The program is suitable at the basic level for individuals who have routine interactions with others that could potentially lead to contentious conversations. OK Ethics makes no guarantees as it is up to the individual practitioner to determine relevance to their specific area of practice.
About the Program:
We will discuss Corporate Ethical Theory to provide a common grounding and then apply that theory to the Covid Crisis with a look at pre/Covid, in/Covid, and (hopefully) post/Covid. Ample time will be provided for thought sharing between the Attendees and Tom.
Key Takeaways:
1. As corporate entities, what Ethical Commitments do companies owe their Stakeholders?
2. How do we apply those Commitments to real life situations?
3. What specific issues have surfaced from this very difficult experience with the Covid Crisis?
