Laura joins me today to discuss her bottom-up approach to creating company cultures and boosting ethical conduct in the workplace. We discuss why it’s necessary to take a bottom-up approach to ethical conduct when creating company cultures and why it’s crucial for employers and senior executives to model the behavior they expect from their employees. We discuss strategies you can use if you discover your company’s values are not aligned with your own and the value of organizations maintaining an ‘open door policy’ when handling employee complaints. Laura shares the steps employers can take to create a culture of ethical behavior and what employees can do when they witness unethical behavior in the workplace. We also discuss why regularly training your employees on ethics is crucial for maintaining a good company culture and creating trust among your employees.

“As a leader, we have to remember that our employees emulate what we do. - so it’s important to be on the right track and lead by example.” - Laura Minde
