Who Should Attend?

Since business ethics has an element of management studies that has been ignored until recently, this course is applicable to all staff that have not been exposed to this concept. Noting that the lack of ethics is often manifested at front line and procurement staff, the course is equally applicable to such employees as well as custodians of the company culture, i.e. senior management

This would benefit:

• Front line staff dealing with clients
• Senior and Executive management
• Procurement
• Business unit/divisional heads
