Josh Bergen – PANELIST Ethics II – “Doing what is right” – Level 2
200 E – THURS., JUNE 20 9-10AM CST
Does your workplace encourage a culture of doing “what is right” overdoing “what is easy?” As leaders, how we behave at work often reflects how the business behaves, how employees behave with each other and ultimately, how employees behave with customers. This session will impart an understanding of the differences between workplace policy and culture. Discuss how your behavior as a leader impacts others (i.e. taking credit or assigning blame). Also covered are the ethics of dealing with guest data and the impact of regulations like GDPR.
