Course Details
Course Content
Section 1: Code of Conduct and Its Importance
This section introduces the concept of a Code of Conduct and its role within the organization:
- What is a Code of Conduct?
- Why it matters — regulatory, reputational, and ethical reasons
- Key topics typically covered: honesty, fairness, respect, confidentiality, conflicts of interest
- How the Code aligns with company values, vision, and stakeholder trust
Learners understand that the Code isn’t about punishment — it’s about building a consistent, transparent workplace culture.
Section 2: Code at My Organization and Your Responsibilities
This module explores how the Code applies to daily decisions and actions:
- Responsibilities of all employees to know and uphold the Code
- Leading by example: leadership’s accountability
- Navigating grey areas and common dilemmas (e.g., accepting gifts, using company assets, social media use)
- Respectful workplace behavior: anti-harassment, inclusion, professionalism
- Conflicts of interest and disclosure obligations
Realistic case studies help learners recognize how small ethical lapses can become major issues — and how proactive behavior protects the organization.
Section 3: Don't Be Afraid to Blow the Whistle
Reporting unethical behavior can feel intimidating — but it’s essential for maintaining trust. Topics covered:
- Recognizing misconduct: fraud, harassment, discrimination, policy violations
- When and how to raise a concern
- Whistleblower protection: anonymity, anti-retaliation, confidentiality
- Internal reporting channels (ethics hotline, HR, compliance officer)
- Common fears vs. organizational commitment to safety and support
Learners are encouraged to act not just when they're impacted, but when they witness unethical behavior that could harm the team or company.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Code of Conduct?
A Code of Conduct is a formal document that outlines the principles, values, standards, and rules that guide employee behavior. It’s designed to help teams make consistent, ethical decisions aligned with the organization’s values.
Why is Code of Conduct training important?
Training ensures employees not only know the Code exists but understand how to apply it in real situations. It promotes trust, compliance, and reduces the risk of legal or reputational damage.
Is this course customizable?
Yes. We can fully customize the course with your actual Code of Conduct, brand voice, policies, and case studies — or build a new one from scratch.
How is this different from other compliance training?
Code of Conduct training is foundational. It addresses the “how we behave” across all areas — including fraud, harassment, data protection, and conflict resolution — and prepares employees to handle ambiguity with integrity.
Is the course anonymous or interactive?
The course includes interactive scenarios, decision-based questions, and optional policy acknowledgment features. Reporting misconduct, however, is always confidential — and training reinforces those protections.
Can I embed our hotline or internal contacts into the course?
Absolutely. We encourage embedding real contacts, escalation paths, and whistleblowing tools into the course to make it actionable and context-specific.
Is it available in multiple languages?
Yes. We offer translation/localization services to meet your regional compliance and language requirements.
How often should this course be completed?
We recommend delivering this course: 1. During employee onboarding, 2. Annually as part of the ethics and compliance refresh, 3. After a major Code update or policy change
