HR AND BUSINESS ETHICS: LESSON FROM THE DOWNTURN

The 2008-2009 financial crisis put business ethics back in the headlines, and we have to ask ourselves: What more can HR professionals do to create ethical business cultures that will deter questionable business practices in the future? This presentation looks at the six basic building blocks of a comprehensive business ethics program, the ethics requirements mandated by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and research data from several recent studies. Participants will also take away a better sense of how to get employees excited about ethics using innovative tools such as Cisco’s "Ethics Idol" program. Sandy L. Boost, SPHR, CAE
