Dr. Kimberly Miller
  Ethics: It’s All About The Little Things
  Morning Session 11:15 AM - 12:15 PM

  Pending Approval for 1 SHRM & HRCI Ethics Credit

Session Description

The traditional focus of ethics tends to be on rules, laws, policies, or addressing significant issues like inappropriate sexual relationships, cheating, or stealing. Although these are certainly concerning, the more frequent ethical compromises happen with much smaller problems that occur in the office every day (e.g., regularly returning late from a break, turning in a sloppy or incomplete report, treating customers with disrespect, or not being totally honest on an evaluation). Many of these issues are accepted as "human nature" or dismissed as personality flaws when, in fact, these are unethical behaviors. While they do not rise to the level of significant discipline, each of these behaviors demonstrates poor character. This course will explore ethics from the most basic level (everyday decisions) and describe why small daily choices dictate how we respond to more significant challenges. We will also explore the importance of ongoing character "maintenance," explain why our mindset is a critical tool in ethical decision-making, and describe why ethical compromises are easier to make than we think.
