Description
Evidence suggests that a values based approach to management positively impacts employee engagement and motivation. As well as reducing
an organisation?s susceptibility to fraud and misconduct, ultimately, we all want to be proud of the organisation for which we work.
Leadership organisations are recognising that this means moving beyond the simple goals of profit, and thinking about how they operate
in relation to staff, customers, investors and the communities in which we all work.
Law and ethics both have an influence on how we
behave but they are far from the same thing. Many acts that would be widely condemned as unethical are not prohibited by law, betraying
the confidence of a friend, for example.
This book explores the most influential areas of this framework including the law relating
to employment, consumer protection and product liability.
– Discover how organisations adopt an ethical and values based approach
to governance.
– Assess the culture and values of your organisation and what effect they have on the behaviour of the organisation
– Review the legal framework in which an organisation operates and the impact of this on your role as a manager
– Minimise legal
risk by familiarising yourself with essential legal principles relating to the management of contracts, negligence, employment law and
product liability.
