What you'll learn on this podcast episode
A code of conduct is your organization’s character and culture written down. It articulates who you are, what you believe, and why you are in business. It also provides a reference for all stakeholders. A reference into what your organization values, and how you live those values. But how do you design and implement a code that communicates effectively? What does “good” look like when it comes to codes of conduct? In this episode of the Principled Podcast, host Jen Uner speaks with Senior E&C Advisor Jim Walton about LRN’s new Code of Conduct Report, which presents a set of best practices in code design and implementation. Listen in as the two unpack the report’s insights from nearly 150 codes of conduct deployed by companies around the world.
