Online Webinar 2019 - Live Webinar Developing an Ethics Based Workplace - Handling Unethical Office Politics, Favoritism and Manipulative Disrupters

Overview
Every day we see another headline regarding prominent people that disappoint us in their conduct. It is obvious as an employer; you cannot assume that all your employees will act ethically. You certainly do not want to give your employees a workplace in which bad behavior is rewarded. Where high performers are frustrated, mistreated and cannot function at their best. Businesses have enough problems today without some employees being the best thing that ever happened to their competition.
Every workplace culture has its share of favoritism, office politics and dysfunction. After all employees are people too and every group of people whether a workplace or a bowling team creates its own norms. But when the workplace culture sours and runs amok; denigrating into a survivalist culture that lessens productivity, stifles creativity and causes talented skilled employees to leave, the culture has become lopsided in the favor of who is usually a few manipulative disrupters.
Those disrupters do not need just training but correction; expectations set and follow up monitoring. Managers need to set the right example of desirable workplace behaviors that employees should emulate or else the opposite will occur.
