Round Table Hannover 09. March 2012

mhayes — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 15:38:02 +0000

The BGS- Round Table Hannover gathered for the first time after the official Kick-Off in Berlin during the CeBIT 2012: After browsing through the extensive exhibition grounds we sat down to enjoy afghan specialties and discuss means of strengthening the young Northern Germany BGS chapter.

Leveraging of our network of regional Round Tables in Berlin, Hannover, Hamburg and Münster our primary focus is to assemble more participants through attractive programming. Invitations to such events, just as all reports about different activities will be posted here, as well as through our open facebook group (join now!). Additionally, all information will be spread to potential members via the main BGS-mailing list.

Reestablishing ties to Hannovers MBA-Programm at GISMA is next up on our todo-list. Also, Michael will see to merging the existing BGS-XING groups for everbody’s convenience. What are your priorities?

Maintaining a Culture of Ethics

molschimke — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 19:52:51 +0000

Once a company has established an ethical culture, the hard work really begins. Organizations must keep the culture’s values relevant within the company, ensuring ethical diligence at all levels.

Making Right Choices

molschimke — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 19:52:11 +0000

Things will go wrong, but there are many steps companies can take to reinforce the organization’s ethical culture.

Ethics and Advancement

molschimke — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 19:51:37 +0000

More and more, adherence to the company’s culture is given great consideration during the annual review process. For companies with an established ethical culture, mere metrics are no longer enough.

Hiring Process and Ethical Culture

molschimke — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 19:51:02 +0000

An organization’s ethical culture must be instilled in every employee. For many companies, ethics is a key component of the employee screening and hiring process.

Leading by Example

molschimke — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 19:50:06 +0000

In order for any company to maintain an ethical culture, the tone must be set at the top. Leaders must exemplify the ethics and ideals expected from company employees. Failure to do so can end in disastrous results for the organization.
