WORK ETHICS

Rather than endlessly redesigning jobs and structures, it is time to redefine and categorize the value of work, knowledge and learning in a new age. A sound redefinition of work ethics filters out the bureaucratic, mechanistic tasks that went with industrial age work organization and structure. It then becomes practical to monitor and manage the abandonment or outsourcing of non-core work and the progressive development and redeployment of people to the work that must be done to secure the future of the business and those who work in it.

Work values are ideas and attitudes that are so personally important that people structure their lives around them. This course provides an opportunity for participants to articulate their own work ethics.
