The Professional Learning Centre
Faculty of Information Studies, University of Toronto
presents a one-day workshop
PERSONAL ETHICS AND THE ETHICAL ORGANIZATION
Date: Friday, March 19, 2004, 9 am - 4 pm
Location: 140 St. George Street, Toronto
Instructors: Maureen Cubberley & Stan Skrzeszewski
Fee: $180
Ours is a generation which has sacrificed quality of life to job
priorities - to efficiency, productivity and a fixation on the bottom-
line. A person who adopts a clear ethical stance accepts
responsibility for human happiness and does not sacrifice for the
sake of profit or the bottom line. We need to restore joy, a sense of
contentment and fulfillment to our job lives based on positive
values. We need to seek balance between a business approach and a
more human approach. Ethical people work to ensure that organizations
prosper, pursue profit and increase social value and help to build a
better society and strengthen community. Is this a naïve dream? This
workshop will show how it can be done.
The workshop is based on a Socratic/philosophical approach. This
means an emphasis on facilitation, discussion, questioning,
interaction, and reflection. Participants will be asked to complete a
pre-workshop 'Meditation and Survey'. The survey is a corporate
ethical values audit. Complete anonymity and confidentiality is
guaranteed for all information submitted. The workshop will cover
the following topics:
* What are Ethical Values?
* Defining your Personal Ethic
* Identifying Corporate Values (Conducting a Values Audit)
* Ethical Decision-Making Strategies
* Creating Ethical Organizational Structures and Processes
* Your 'Art of Living Well' Agenda
TARGET AUDIENCE:
Of value to any information professional who is struggling to balance
personal needs with organizational demands.
