Overview

Organisational culture and ethics are fundamental to the success and sustainability of any organisation. Organisational culture encompasses the shared values, beliefs, and practices that shape how employees interact and work together. Ethics within an organisation refers to the principles and standards that guide behaviour and decision-making. Together, these elements influence the work environment, employee satisfaction, and the organisation's reputation. A positive organisational culture fosters collaboration, innovation, and a sense of belonging, while a strong ethical framework ensures that decisions are made with integrity and accountability.

In the UK, organisations are increasingly recognising the importance of cultivating a positive culture and adhering to ethical standards. Studies indicate that 72% of UK employees believe their line managers set a good example of ethical behaviour, and 74% are aware of written standards of ethical conduct within their organisations.

However, challenges remain, such as a reported 18% of employees being aware of misconduct in the past year, highlighting the need for continuous improvement in ethical practices.

This course aims to address these issues by providing insights into building and maintaining an ethical organisational culture.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
