Bringing Your Code of Conduct to Life

Simply having a code of conduct doesn't mean that employees will adhere to it, or that they will even understand why it exists at all. The challenge lies in turning your code of conduct into a relevant, engaging guide that inspires employees towards principled behavior. This requires content and language capable of winning over the most cynical workers and includes techniques to ensure your business code of ethics becomes a valuable living document that actively engages employees.

LRN's experience has shown that leading companies incorporate five key elements to develop and promote an engaging code of conduct:

• Create a code of conduct that emphasizes values, supported by rules.
• Educate employees about the company's code of ethics to make it relevant and real.
• Reinforce the code of conduct, both in and outside the organization.
• Encourage employees to become active participants in upholding the code of conduct and its values.
• Gather feedback and measure effectiveness, continually improving the code of conduct.
