Building an Ethical Culture Toolkit

Every organization has an ethical culture. In some companies, it might be very well defined, and others might be just starting to formalize it. The questions become “Is it what our organization wants it to be?”, “Does it align with our business values?” and “Are there weak spots we need to address?”.

Think of this toolkit (from HR expert Sharlyn Lauby) as a way for you to “audit” your organization’s current practices. The process outlined in it can ensure that your organization’s words are aligned with your actions in terms of ethics.

The purpose of this toolkit is to give readers processes to assess their current ethics environment and create positive change. Download it to get started.
