Ethics & Code of Conduct

Customization That's Flexible, Cutting-Edge and Cost Effective

While maintaining its unique story-based approach, ELT's Ethics & Code of Conduct course is completely customizable.

A short "backbone" story communicates the basic learning points associated with ethical decision-making in the workplace. This backbone story features the fictitious Working People™ cast of characters publishing an article about the "100 Most Trusted Employers" – fictitious organizations that most effectively demonstrate ethical behavior and legal compliance, thus earning the trust of their employees.

In publishing the Trusted Employer article, our Working People™ characters interview and research dozens of organizations across multiple industries. Each instance forms a "vignette" focused upon a particular legal compliance topic –i.e., antitrust, or insider trading. By choosing from an extensive library of vignettes, the course can be adjusted to map to your specific Code of Conduct, and ethics and compliance program.

Your organization benefits from a custom, high-quality program without the cost and expense of "from scratch" development. An ELT consultant walks you through every step of the process.

Here's how it works:

LEVEL I CUSTOMIZATION

Branded Training Portal: The portal is branded with your organization's logo and includes a custom welcome message for all learners.

Executive Introduction & Conclusion: The course begins and ends with a multi-media sequence featuring a key executive from your organization.

Your Code of Conduct: The course includes your actual Code of Conduct, including any specific reporting information.

Topic Selection: ELT has created numerous vignettes illustrating key topics that appear in an employer's Code of Conduct. This library of vignettes is the result of our extensive collaboration with Littler Mendelson and Shearman & Sterling. You can choose a selection of these vignettes and supplementary Q&A sequences to best reflect the content of your Code of Conduct. You control the length of the program by the number of vignettes selected. You can also select different combinations of vignettes to address the learning needs of different audiences within your workforce.

Certificate: The final course certification and electronic signature process includes content and media custom to your organization.

LEVEL II CUSTOMIZATION

All Level I Customizations

Vignette and Q&A Modification: You can make adjustments to the text content within ELT's pre-produced vignettes and Q&A segments. The Ethics & Code of Conduct course is designed to concentrate the majority of the substantive content in text-based portions of the program. This unique design makes customization easy, fast and affordable.

Additional Branding: In addition to the branded training portal and the executive introduction / conclusion messages provided in Level I, we can include your logo, a photograph of your facilities or other similar representative imagery throughout the course.

LEVEL III CUSTOMIZATION

All Level I & II Customizations

Custom Multi-Media Segments: ELT produces custom vignettes that are completely specific to your organization and/or industry. These segments can address certain ethics and compliance topics in more detail, and with a particular focus. They can also present business issues / dilemmas specific to your workplace. With ELT's expert advice and support, you choose the scenarios, the characters and the content. ELT has already developed an extensive media library of photos and graphics that help to control the cost and time of this custom development. We also have extensive custom audio capabilities.

A "Living Solution": Level III customization can be applied to your Ethics & Code of Conduct course prior to its initial launch as well as after the first "roll out." Retraining can therefore be constantly kept fresh with new and updated content, specific to your organization.

Technology, Certification and Tracking

Whether hosted by ELT's LMS, or by your organization's LMS, you can enroll specific audiences into the Ethics and Code of Conduct course with control over:

Internal marketing / messaging around the training program
Roll-out dates
Completion dates
Reminder communications
Retraining assignments and expectations

Each individual learner's training completion and acknowledgement of your Code is electronically tracked. You can pull custom reports 24/7 to determine the status of training assignments and completion statistics.

Although the Ethics & Code of Conduct course features high production value media, as with all ELT courses, it requires minimal bandwidth and is supported across a multitude of browser and operating system configurations. (See technical specifications.)
