Ethics in Management
Most unethical decisions don't feel unethical in the moment — that's exactly the problem this workshop addresses.
About the course
This 2-day Staff Training workshop, ideal for managers and supervisors setting the tone on ethical conduct, examines how the lines of ethical conduct get blurred, works through real case studies, and covers how to create, sustain and benchmark an ethical culture — referencing South Africa's King IV governance principles alongside international standards. The result: managers equipped to build ethics into daily practice, not just policy documents.
