Consulting and Program Design
While many nonprofits have codes of ethics, too often they're designed for compliance and steeped in legalese. At worst, most workers don't understand the code. At best, many don't understand how the code applies to them.
What most employees want is clear, sensible guidance that they can trust-guidance that is strongest when it's built not on outside regulations, but on internal values.
The Institute for Global Ethics knows values-ethical values. We've spent more than a decade studying values in cultures around the world, learning how to uncover the concepts that really reflect the heart of your organization.
Our expertise can guide your organization in creating a simple, powerful, shared statement of values-one derived from input by every part of your organization.
We'll help you construct a code that means something positive to people-something employees will want to protect and put into practice in meetings, in decisions, and in policy. With proper support, your new code will say, This is how we do things around here, leaving no room for illegal and unethical behavior.
