Ethics in Management
What is this course about?
Most unethical decisions don't feel unethical in the moment — that's exactly the problem this workshop addresses. 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.

Run Ethics in Management for your team
Every workshop we publish is also delivered in-house — at your premises anywhere in South Africa and beyond, at one of our venues, or live online. Before we deliver, our course designers can adapt Ethics in Management to your team: your industry’s examples in the case work, your real challenges in the exercises, your operational rhythm in the schedule. We meet you, agree the outline together, and only then do you place the order.
In-house rates drop per delegate as the group grows — for larger teams it is usually the more affordable option as well as the better-fitting one.
