When goals, motivations, and worlds collide, people can be uncivil to each other.

Employees experience emotional exhaustion, health problems, disengagement from job functions, depression, and anxiety. Increased conflict, grievances and legal risks result, putting the future of the organization at risk.

Attend this webinar and learn how to be an ethical HR leader that respects the unique differences of employees and teaches managers and individuals to be sensitive to differences when having conversations and intense discussions. HR leaders learn how civility is tied to respect and how civility and respect can increase engagement.

Since there is no “moral cookbook” for ethical leadership, the webinar explores how HR leaders can teach and mentor through words and actions in order to establish a culture of acceptance and tolerance.

Why should you Attend: Ethics is the code of conduct or behaviors governing an individual or a group. The code of conduct includes ideas, beliefs, or standards that characterizes the group. In this webinar, ethical leadership models are explored as are the principles of self-identity, social circles, and human spirit. Each entity plays a role in putting in place a personal moral “recipe” for how HR leaders interact and communicate with employees.

An ethical HR leader models civil behaviors for employees and ensures that the EEOC laws that prohibit discrimination are alive and enforced. The ethical HR leader reinforces key civility messages on a regular basis throughout the entire organization.

In every organization there are explicit actions and rules that are spelled out in policies and procedures, yet the implicit culture of the organization permits behaviors that don’t break the rules but are in opposition to the spirit of civility and ethical treatment.
