1.5 CPE This course helps you develop the basics of an ethics training program that is consistent with the requirements in the Federal Sentencing Guidelines for Organizations (FSGO).
We are often told to be ethical, and are called upon to make ethical decisions, but are not provided with the tools to help us make ethical decisions.Ethical decisions usually mean making a choice between two rights and balancing various needs in order to make an ethical decision.This is what makes ethical decision making so hard, because there is rarely one correct answer.
This course covers ethical decision making models and explains how you can develop a model for your organization that helps your employees make the best decision possible.
Once you have developed the tools for making ethical decisions, it is necessary to train and communicate to employees. We also discuss training, communication, incentives, and performance evaluations and how ethical tools can be built into all of them, reinforcing your organization's ethical guidelines and decision making model.
Learning Objectives
- Identify the core human values upon which any ethical decision should be made.
- Define the types of ethical decisions
- Recognize commonly accepted ethical decision making models and recognize the common elements necessary for developing an ethical decision making model in your organization.

This course served as an effective overview, coupled with good supporting materials to reiterate content presented by the facilitator. Although I've participated in a multitude of ethics courses and training throughout my career, I particularly enjoyed a deeper dive into FSGO during this course.

Highly encourage anyone who is interested in or required to take a course in ethics to choose this course and instructor. Course material was well organized and Mr. Mefford is one of the best instructors I have had . Well done.

Blown away quite frankly. Great balance of content and practicality, engaging speaker to what could be dry material. Almost seemed as though watching the news versus a formal lecture. Fantastic!!

I found the physical fitness analogy to be very helpful. On the other hand, I would have appreciated some examples of organizations actually making the ethical fitness program "fun."

The material in the course was great and the instructor was very knowlegable. However, I felt a couple of the questions in the final exam were not covered well in the course.

I'm a bit surprised that I did not score higher, and based on the importance of this information, I'd love it if we could re-take an exam or see what we misinterpreted.

Very informative presentation. Rewards System for reporting Ethical violations would definitely make a difference in how people feel about making that report.

Impressive to hear how many times we need to hear before we learn and understand a concept. It is good to learn how many times people needs trainings.

This ethics module was taught in a very interesting a relatable way. I like the fitness metaphor and all different decision models.

Good course but would have benefitted from a case study or two. Without case studies, I think the course could have been shorter.

Good information about FSGO. It would have been nice to have a continuous play mode like other Illumeo courses I have taken.

Great course. I like how Jason used the Seven Dwarfs analogy to make his point about the 7 ethical must-haves.

One of the better ethics courses. It wasn't all common sense which is how Ethics courses tend to be.
