Resources believes that compliance with laws and
company policies is more likely when employees
understand and affirm the ethical reasons "behind" the rules. 
Resources has found that a broad approach to
compliance avoids the mistake of focusing too narrowly on laws and rules alone.  Without this broader perspective of integrity, employees may "game" the rules and take
actions that land themselves and the company in court.

Resources helps companies respond to U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other legal/regulatory concerns by
designing compliance training that includes ethical
decision making skills
.  Resources helps managers to make responsible decisions when the rules do not apply
or when the issues are in the "gray" areas.
Resources helps people understand the "spirit of the law" which, in turn, encourages personal commitment and responsibility.

Applications:

  • To develop compliance programs based on ethically responsible management
  • To help individuals understand that commitment to the spirit of the law is good business
  • To teach practical decision making skills to help
    people make tough judgments
  • To encourage compliance by illustrating that personal and corporate values are mutually supportive
  • To help ensure compliance by encouraging personal accountability

Methodology:

    Resources can help design ethical decision making
     modules directly connected to the company
     compliance training.  Materials can include cases,
     videos, participant worksheets and instructional
     guides.  Resources provides design, development of
     materials, training for trainers, and delivery.
