    During this meeting, we will discuss the importance, as well as describe components, of a strong ethical culture within an organization.

    Elements to be discussed in depth include: documenting, implementing and communicating an ethics policy; holding employees accountable to the policy; and tools for monitoring compliance, including an ethics hotline.

    We will discuss a tool which can be useful for guiding ethical decision making within the organization.

    We will conclude with a discussion around roles and responsibilities as they apply to ethics within the organization as well as ideas for how Human Resources can leverage internal partners to enhance and monitor the ethical climate of the organization.
