Integrity and ethics in business, training by The House of Coaching
A supplier sends you a nice package at the end of the year. Nobody says anything about it, but you wonder if you are allowed to keep it, and who you dare to ask.
You want to act correctly, but the rules feel vague and the pressure to get results is real. You are left with a nagging feeling, and you stay quiet because you do not know if you are overreacting.
Ethical questions at work are rarely black and white:
you do not always know where the line is in the grey areas of business decision-making;
the pressure to perform and stay competitive puts your values to the test;
you doubt whether you are handling a gift, a bonus or a tender correctly;
you do not always dare to speak your mind when something is not right.
That affects everyone in an organisation, from the newest employee to the manager. A solid foundation of ethical principles and a clear code of conduct gives everyone guidance.
Why is it so difficult to say something about this?
Ethical questions rarely come with a label. They pop up in a normal working week, between deadlines and appointments, and they seem too small to justify a conversation. So you wait, and hope that it becomes clear on its own.
That costs energy. You worry, you doubt your own judgement and you say nothing because you do not want to disrupt the atmosphere. It also stays quiet in your team, because nobody knows if anyone else is struggling with it too.
It does not have to stay this way. Ethical decision-making is not an innate compass, it is a way of looking and talking that you can learn.
How do you make an ethical decision with confidence?
Acting with integrity is a skill. You learn to recognise dilemmas, align your values with those of your organisation and say out loud what you notice.
Our coaches know the grey areas at work and respect them. In the training you work in 2 half-days with realistic scenarios such as the gift, the tender and the bonus. This way you practise safely, together with others, until you know what to say and what to do.
You work on personal integrity, the code of ethics and speaking up. With that you will soon have the foundation for the list below.
