Developing a Client-Centered Code of Ethics

Overview

For many professionals, the code of ethics they follow is set forth by the company they represent and/or the professional organizations to which they belong. Yet any “formal” code of ethics can be—and should be—supplemented by the professional's own personal code of professional ethics: a guidepost that directs one’s business practices and conduct in tandem with one’s personal beliefs and values. This course explains the importance of developing a professional code of ethics and the elements that should be considered to ensure that both producer and client are best served.
