Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An ethics program involves translating a plan of action into operational terms and establishing a means by which organizational ethical performance will be monitored, controlled, and improved. It is not primarily directed at training top managers or developing compensation plans. While training may be a part of the program, it does not start or end with training alone. The success of the program does not depend on the CEO using a particular leadership approach, and the program should be tailored to the specific organization's needs, goals, and values.
