HR & Compliance, 15 minutes, self-paced
Business Ethics
Work through ethical dilemmas in business
Part of the compliance library: free for every employee at any company size.
Who it is for
Managers and individual contributors who face judgment calls where the right answer is not obvious, and leaders who set the ethical tone for a team. Broadly applicable across roles and industries.
What you will learn
- Recognize an ethical dilemma before it becomes a compliance or reputation problem
- Work through competing interests using a consistent decision framework rather than gut reaction
- Apply your organization's code of conduct to gray-area situations like gifts, conflicts of interest, and confidentiality
- Raise and escalate ethical concerns constructively, including how to use reporting channels
What changes on the job
- Judgment calls worked through with a repeatable framework instead of improvisation
- Conflicts of interest and gift situations recognized and disclosed early
- A team more willing to surface concerns before they escalate
This course is one part of the mix. The same topic runs as a live workshop where a facilitator who has held the role watches you practice, and Coach Taylor follows up afterward.
Talk to ARIA
Ask what you would ask us.
ARIA works the way a good first call works. She asks who is involved and what should change, recommends the closest starting point, quotes the real price, and hands you to a person when you want one.

Questions
Questions about this course.
Is this a compliance course or a leadership course?
Both. It sits in the HR compliance courses and connects to your code of conduct, but the core skill is practical ethical decision-making that any manager can use.
How long does it take?
About 20 minutes, self-paced. It pairs well with a live workshop where teams talk through real dilemmas from their own work.
Does it tell me the 'right' answer for every situation?
No, and that is intentional. Real dilemmas rarely have one clean answer. The course gives you a way to reason through them and know when to escalate.
