Ethics Made Easy with New Video Training

What is highly ethical and takes only 8 minutes of your time? The new Ethics 101 training rolled out by the Office of Ethics and Compliance in our Learning Management System (LMS).

The short video training is focused on understanding and maintaining our strong ethical standards, a characteristic Chief Administrative Officer Helen Robbins-Meyer said is at the core of any successful government or business.

“We want to be proactive so we can continuously reinforce our ethical culture, avoid problems and maintain public trust,” Robbins-Meyer says in an introduction to the training.

Joe Cordero, Director of the County’s Office of Ethics and Compliance, said hundreds of County employees have already watched or been assigned to watch the Ethics 101 training and many more could benefit from the online training.

“The video covers so much material and is so impactful,” Cordero said.

Plus, working for an organization that values ethics usually means there is less turnover, greater job satisfaction and better morale, Cordero added.

The County of San Diego’s values or guiding principles to good ethics are simple: integrity, stewardship and commitment. In other words—do no harm, treat others appropriately and do the right thing. Learn more about ethics by taking Ethics 101. Visit the LMS site and search for “Ethics.”
