Are ethical issues understood and adequately addressed?
Are directors able to raise ethical issues?
Do ethical issues slip by because the board is not comfortable discussing them?
There is a lot of talk about ethics these days but it is a difficult subject to pin down, highly subjective and often far clearer in hindsight when a problem has already emerged. Yet the consequences can be devastating for your business.
The first issue is to ensure that your people can identify ethical issues when they arise. The second is that they handle them appropriately. The Walton Group can help you clarify your ethical environment, give you the tools to develop an ethical culture, and train your people to identify ethical issues and use ethical judgement skills.
The result will be greater confidence in the ability to see, discuss and handle ethical issues, lowering the potential for costly mistakes and building a culture that supports appropriate behaviour at every level of your operations.
