Governance training can be so much more than just a box-ticking exercise. It’s the foundation on which to build an ethical reputation for the company you work for. Everyone has a part to play in deciding how you want to be defined by the outside world. By positioning governance training as an opportunity for all employees to build a modern, sustainable, ethical business for the future you can tap into everyone’s desire to be proud and have bragging rights for where they work.
How’s your online rep?
At Kineo Courses our ESG governance training starts with an online search. Asking your employees to do a quick search for ‘your favourite brand’ plus ‘company values’ gets people thinking about why they like the brands they do. We believe the best way to upskill employees in governance issues is to get to the heart of the ‘why?’.
Considering what you look like online is a key part of this. What comes up when someone searches for your company? Governance training could mean the difference between a negative news story about bad behaviour, and a great mission statement.
Ethical behaviour
So, how do you engage your workforce with the importance of ethical decisions, compliance with law, and ethical labour practices? Interactive activities which speak directly to employees about what issues are most important to them coupled with real-life examples turns dull compliance training into something each person can get on board with personally.
In our new course Introduction to Ethical Corporate Behaviour, we ask big questions about how actions define us. We start our interactive journey by reflecting on how the way we act defines the way we’re viewed by others and end by considering how the way we treat each other defines our internal ethos and culture.
It’s crucial to enable employees to get involved with making fictional decisions of their own, solving ethical dilemmas and considering what they would want to show the world if they started a business. Online, interactive courses can be a great safe space to practice and reflect on fictional scenarios where the stakes are low.
