About this course
This course explains what ethical values and codes of conduct are, and why they’re essential for creating a positive, unified workplace culture. Explore how ethics influence decision-making, how a strong code of conduct guides behaviour, and how both work together to protect your organisation’s reputation and people.
The course begins by defining ethical values and showing how they serve as a moral compass that shapes everyday decisions. It introduces key principles such as integrity, accountability, transparency, respect, fairness, empathy, and environmental responsibility, helping teams recognise how these values play out in real workplace scenarios.
Learners are then guided through the process of developing or improving a code of conduct, from identifying values and involving stakeholders, to drafting, reviewing, and maintaining the document. Along the way, learn how to use the provided Toolkit document, which helps to create a code tailored to your own organisation’s culture and goals.
By the end of the course, learners will understand not only what a code of conduct is, but why it matters, and how it empowers people to make ethical decisions independently, even in complex situations.

Why is this training important?
Every organisation is built on the actions and decisions of its people. When those actions are guided by strong ethical values, they create an environment where trust, respect, and accountability thrive.
Having a well-defined code of conduct ensures that everyone understands what’s expected of them, not just in terms of following the law, but in upholding the shared values that make your organisation unique. It provides clarity during difficult decisions, helps prevent misconduct, and strengthens your company’s reputation both internally and externally.
This training helps learners appreciate that ethics aren’t just a set of rules, they’re the principles that shape who we are at work. It encourages teams to act with integrity, communicate openly, and make decisions that reflect fairness and empathy.
For HR managers and leaders, it’s also a practical way to align teams around a shared vision of “doing the right thing.” A strong ethical foundation supports everything from employee wellbeing to customer confidence and helps to make sure that your organisation continues to make a positive impact.
