PROGRAM OVERVIEW:
Nan DeMars, renowned Workplace Ethicist, believes, “All admins in today’s workplace find themselves from time to time in the ethical crossfire of business activities. Simply because their positions place them where the action is – they can even be deemed the First Responders to Ethical Dilemmas!”
