Ethical Culture: The Power of Storytelling

Humans are hard wired to learn through stories. Storytelling can be an impactful tool to help instruct and engage employees on the topic of ethics and to help build an organization’s ethical culture.

Storytelling around ethics and compliance, when done right, puts the employee at the center of the conversation.
