Common Decency®
Doesn't everyone in your organization deserve some Common Decency®?

"Common Decency" . . .  a simple phrase with critical implications for organizations today.

Webster's defines "decent" as adequate; satisfactory; kind; generous; characterized by propriety of conduct, speech or dress; respectable.  In the workplace, decent means treating people fairly, with respect and professionalism.

Recent studies show the strong link between how employees are treated, loyalty and the bottom line. In today's diverse and complex workplace, employees need an environment which allows them to reach their full potential, regardless of their age, race, sex, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or disability. While litigation is a clear result of unfair treatment, other ramifications also negatively impact the work environment. 

Common Decency® stresses the importance of fair and consistent treatment of the employees. This innovative, award winning, video-based program shows how managers put themselves and their organizations at risk when they treat employees unprofessionally or illegally.

Safe and SoundTM
Shouldn't all your employees feel Safe and Sound?

We know that we are working within a violent society. Many employees are victims of robbery, many are stalked by co-workers or total strangers. And sadly, significant numbers are victims of domestic violence who are easily found on the job. 

 Workplace Violence . . .   WHAT CAN BE DONE? 

Even though workplace violence is on the increase, the good news is that much of it can be prevented. We’re all familiar with security devices and procedures involving access control and locks. What we sometimes forget is the important role managers and supervisors can play in maintaining a secure workplace for their employees and customers. 

Whether it’s diffusing a potentially volatile customer confrontation, responding to a veiled employee threat, or recognizing erratic employee behavior, each manager and supervisor has a duty to help keep their workplace secure. 

The topics in this half day, video-supported workshop include:

Recognizing Threats
Handling Conflict
Identifying Erratic Behaviors
Zero Tolerance Policies 
Responding to Harmful Situations
Violence/Unfair Treatment Link
ABC's of Personal Safety 
Also available through a Train-the-Trainer Certification program

Integrity At Work
All premier companies want their managers to have Integrity At Work
®

Managers who complete the Integrity at Work® program gain new skills and greater confidence to integrate ethically responsible decision making into their work. 

In the Integrity at Work® program, managers are provided with a structured method for dealing with ethical dilemmas that arise on the job. Whether working in a large publicly-held corporation, a small, privately owned company, or a non-profit organization, managers encounter ethical questions in their day-to-day activities. Sometimes the answer is clear; other times managers may be puzzled about the most responsible way to handle a given situation. And the decision may reflect not only upon one’s own integrity but also that of the organization. 

This workshop provides managers with a practical, easy to understand Six Question method for resolving ethical dilemmas that arise on the job. Managers sometimes think of ethics as a purely personal matter, having little or nothing to do with business, as if misdeeds were isolated incidents and ethical dilemmas outside the scope of an organization’s responsibility. Yet in reality, ethics is part of everyday management. 

Integrity at Work® includes topics such as:

Responsible Business Conduct 
Confidentiality, Fairness, Honesty
Guidelines for Ethical Decision-Making
Compliance with Policies
Conflict of interest 

Integrity at Work® is a video-based, award winning classroom program for use by your staff.  Easy to use and effective, it can be customized to include your organization's Code of Conduct or corporate policies.
