Why this Course is Important

“Learn what COI is and how to handle conflicts of interest that can occur within your workplace.”

You might think that learning about Conflict of Interest and business ethics is only important to senior leaders and boards of organisations, but these two topics should also be essential learning for managers, team leaders, and supervisors to understand, observe and teach to their teams too.

From the countless examples in the news in Australia and overseas, personal relationships, doing things for personal gain, and other failures of judgment can create situations where managers and even employees can have divided loyalties, and conflicts of interest and unethical behaviour can quickly undermine a company.

If you want to learn more about business ethics and conflict of interest, A Manager’s Guide to Understanding Conflict of Interest should be a must-attend session. This is not just for your benefit, but it’s also to help the people you manage and lead too.
