Summary

Helps you understand the concept of ethics, why they matter, and why being ethical goes deeper than just being compliant and legal.

Some of the largest construction firms in the world have faced the prospect of multi-million fines for significant breaches of ethics and compliance recently – from bribery and collusion to modern slavery.  Yet many businesses are reaping the rewards of being values and ethically driven.  You’ll learn that ethics is defined as a set of moral principles that govern a person’s behaviour or the conducting of an activity, and reflect on what that means for you as a professional in the industry and for your business.

The online course requires around 2 hours per section.  You can participate at your own pace and around your schedule.  It will help you to:

  • Know what to do if you had an ethical dilemma
  • Know the difference between Legal and Compliant
  • Improve relationships, identify conflicts of interest, minimise risk
  • Know company ethics policy, and their key parts
  • Identify your personal values and how they apply in work

Here are the answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about this course:

  • The course takes place 100% online. You should expect to make a commitment of 2 hours per section.
  • There are no live sessions; we will not expect you to be online at any specific times over the duration of the course
