    Combined workshop on the following topics:

    • Employee Engagement - Why good employees leave good employers (1.25 general credits)
    • Ethics - the fabric of business - a SHRM Foundation presentation (1 hour Strategic credit)  In this age of accounting scandals and corporate wrongdoing, progressive organizations are seeking ways to foster a more ethical corporate culture.
    • Trust Travels - a SHRM Foundation presentation (1 hour Strategic credit) Organizations today struggle to build a workplace based on trust and values such as honesty, integrity and respect.

With 137,000 employees in 40 countries, Starbucks clearly demonstrates that trust and values can travel to different cultures.
