More Relevant for Business Than Ever: High-Impact Corporate Ethics Training Like You've Never Seen It Before

Introducing A New Concept In Ethics Training: Ethics Live, a Collaboration Between The Two Foremost Teams in Innovative Ethics Training and High-Impact Employee Engagement - EthicsOne and The Second City.

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) May 18, 2009 -- Corporate ethics training has never been more important and the foremost creative team in the field - EthicsOne - is breaking new ground with a new high-energy, high-impact ethics training program called Ethics Live - produced in partnership with Second City Communications, the business solutions division of the world renowned improvisational theater, The Second City.

Ethics Live is designed to make ethics and compliance training relevant and engaging by bringing it to life in a blend of live performances, online tools, games, and learning experiences to create meaningful ethics education and awareness.

"Ethics Live goes beyond typical ethics training that's too often dull and largely forgettable," said Steve Cohen, President of EthicsOne. "We focus on making ethics training that brings issues to life - and The Second City is critical to that. Highly effective ethics training creates employees and leaders with the skills and commitment to apply values to the realities of today's workplace," added Cohen.

Ethics Live client programs are built around custom content and live shows created by The Second City to dramatize ethics issues. All of the programs draw on Second City's legendary history of developing unique content that connects with audiences in powerful ways.

"Second City Communications has been bringing ethics, compliance and leadership conduct issues to life for hundreds of clients over the past 5 years," said Tom Yorton, President and COO of The Second City. "Ethics Live is a great alternative to check-the-box training that employees typically hate. It's smart, authentic, honest and often funny -- the kind of training people look forward to vs. avoiding like the plague," added Yorton.

Ethics Live is customizable to help clients address a wide range of common ethics topic areas, including respect in the workplace, trust building, ethical leadership, environmental safety and individual responsibility, honesty in reporting, and corruption.

"Business ethics training is a serious undertaking, but there's no reason it can't be taught creatively," said Steve Cohen. "That is exactly what Ethics Live is all about, and we've already seen how powerfully it reaches people," he added.
