Who says ethics training can't be fun? Dive into the world of ethical decision-making with interactive games designed to provoke thought, discussion, and laughter.

Through game play, we'll explore the gray areas of ethics, develop critical thinking skills, and reinforce the principles of integrity and professionalism in a memorable way. Be ready to participate, deliberate, and navigate the ethical maze with your peers in this highly engaging session.

Learning Objectives:

Enhance understanding of ethical principles and the complexities of real-world application in HR scenarios through interactive gameplay.
Develop ethical judgment skills by analyzing scenarios, considering various perspectives, and making decisions in a group setting.
