Conducting an ethics workshop based on a company’s code of conduct offers different opportunities and challenges than conducting an ethical decision-making workshop. Describe the differences and unique opportunities and challenges offered by each.
What will be an ideal response?
If a company has a written code of conduct, workshops can be designed to raise
awareness of it. Ethical scenarios can be designed to relate specifically to the code, and employees can be informed of what kind of punishments the company will levy for specific violations of the code. Challenges can come from the complexity of the code.
(Many organization’s codes are incredibly long and complicated and difficult for
employees to make sense of.) Some innovative ethics teachers have designed game-based, trivia-style challenges to help teach the complex points of codes of conduct. Ethical decision-making workshops take a different track; instead of teaching about specific rules and infractions, they try to train employees to make ethical decisions in the moment. These workshops give employees a safe space to explore and develop systematic, ethical thinking. Fictional ethical dilemmas play a big part in this kind of workshop. Decision-making workshops should make employees feel comfortable in asking questions about what is right and wrong and sharing ethical concerns. Group-based exercises are particularly helpful with this kind of workshop.
