3 Steps to Ethical Decision Making

This is Program 1 of 'Compliance is Just the Beginning', which presents an easy-to-learn approach that will help employees at all levels make better ethical decisions.

Program 1 introduces the process. We hear from a former Enron executive as well as six ethics experts who discuss the pressures people can feel that may lead them to make poor decisions. We explore the importance of being aware of our core values as well as the standards of behaviour expected by our organizations and our communities. Most importantly, we learn the 3 steps we can each take when faced with a tough ethical choice to help us make the best possible decision. These are:

1. The Compliance Test

2. The Ripple Effect

3. The Gut Check
