In the post Sarbanes-Oxley workplace, the critical need for comprehensive ethics and "Code of Conduct" training is placing HR, legal and training professionals at the heart of an organization’s compliance efforts. It is essential for these business leaders to understand the importance of training, and how to provide it to their organizations.
Recent amendments to the Federal Sentencing Guidelines require all employers – public, private, non profit, government etc. – to adopt formal and “effective” ethics and compliance programs. Training on these programs must be provided to all workers, from the top to the bottom of an organization.
Practically speaking, this means employers should publish a "Code of Conduct," and effectively educate employees about the Code. Training typically addresses issues such as reporting protocols, conflicts of interest, fraud, insider trading, harassment and discrimination prevention, confidentiality and gift giving/receiving.
