The Value of Positive Workplace Ethics on Productivity

Course Introduction

This Value of Positive Workplace Ethics on Productivity training course highlights the profound value of positive workplace ethics on ensuring high levels of productivity. According to the Merriam Webster dictionary, workplace ethics are ‘a set of values centred on the importance of doing work, which are reflected especially in a determination to work hard’. It is no surprise, therefore, that workplace ethics and employee productivity are closely interlinked – and it is the organisation’s managers and leaders who shoulder the responsibility for ensuring that one gets translated into the other.

In this training course you will get to define what positive work ethics mean within the context of their own organisations, and they will learn the tools to create an environment within which such ethics can thrive and develop. Participants will also discover techniques for creating efficient processes and workflows, which are vital pathways for work ethics to positively affect the productivity of individual contributors, teams and the organization as a whole.
