Business Ethics workshop Toronto: A Corporate Advantage

What Advantages do Business Practices Programs Provide to Organizations? Business leaders increasingly recognize the direct relationship between fulfilling a companys responsibilities and corporate survival. An effective business practices program ensures:

  1. A Marketplace Advantage: Customers and investors cite corporate practices and values as primary considerations in their decision-making.
  2. Superior Employee Performance: Companies with sound business practices and established values report improved employee morale, reduced employee turnover and increased productivity.
  3. Reputation Management: Once damaged by scandal or unethical behavior, a companys reputation may never recover - resulting in lost revenue, low employee morale and increased governmental and public scrutiny. Emphasizing responsible business conduct is the surest means of preserving a companys intangible assets.
