Values, Ethics and Boundaries for Supervisors/Managers
Length: 1 full day
Description:
Managers who work in human services organizations have several distinct challenges when it comes to boundaries and ethics. Understanding what boundaries and ethics apply as they move from a front line to a management position. How are they different than the values, boundaries and ethics of a front line worker? These issues can be further complicated by the divided loyalties and responsibilities that managers may experience towards their staff, the clients and the larger organization. Ensuring that staff are working professionally and ethically in their roles is another responsibility. This workshop will explore the basic values, ethics and boundaries that front-line staff need to know. Participants will examine ways that these applied skills can be taught to all workers and how well written policies are essential in providing clarity and accountability.
This workshop will examine:
- boundaries and ethics for Human Services Managers
- issues of staff and organizational loyalty
- how to encourage an ethical work environment
- understanding how accountability reinforces professional ethics
Who Should Attend:
Managers, executive directors and human resources personnel
Values, Ethics and Boundaries for Front Line Workers
Those who work in the human services sector are drawn to this work for a myriad of reasons. Due to the complex nature of the work, staff may be hired from a wide range of backgrounds which can include a combination of training or experience or both. Coming from such diverse backgrounds means that when workers start in the system they likely have no common language or understanding of professional values, boundaries and ethics. What are the concepts that all workers working in the human and social services sector should understand? What is an ethical dilemma and what strategies and protocols should be applied in reaching some conclusions? Participants will be required to sign a confidentiality contract to further ensure a safe learning environment to share experiences and gain knowledge of acceptable values, ethics and boundaries.
This workshop will examine:
- boundaries and ethics for Front Line workers
- ethical dilemmas and how to navigate them
- issues of client, staff and organizational loyalty
- ethical work ethics
- understanding how accountability reinforces professional ethics
Who Should Attend:
Front Line staff who work in Social Services, as well as managers, executive directors and human resources personnel
