Ethical Fitness®
The one-day Ethical Fitness® Seminar (EFS) is the nucleus of IGE UK’s training programmes in the corporate, public and voluntary, youth and formal education sectors.
Based on Dr. Rushworth Kidder's landmark book, How Good People Make Tough Choices: Resolving the Dilemmas of Ethical Living, the EFS has been experienced by thousands of people worldwide in a wide variety of workplace and community environments. The EFS is positive, non-threatening, and highly interactive. Participants claim greater awareness of ethical issues, higher levels of decision-making confidence, and a high degree of relevance to their job responsibilities.
The learning objectives for the EFS include the following:
- Recognising why ethics matters—for individuals, for organisations, for the future
- Understanding trust—what is it? What encourages trust? What kills it?
- Defining ethical values—whose values? How are they applied in the workplace or community?
- Analysing ethical dilemmas—Right versus wrong? Right versus right?
- Resolving dilemmas—which principles best apply?
IGE's work is built on the belief that fundamental, shared values can be discovered and applied. We also assume that individuals and organisations are capable of developing what we call “ethical fitness”—which, like physical fitness, keeps you in mental and moral shape to recognize and address ethical dilemmas.
Participants leave our seminar with the methods and confidence required for resolving ethical dilemmas—equipped to confront issues that face them every day, at work and at home. All dilemmas examined during the seminar are drawn not from written case studies but from fresh, individual experiences shared by the participants in the seminar.
