Human Values and Ethics
in the Workplace:
Improving leadership and performance in the water education,
supply and sanitation sectors
Encouraged
by the success of the
Human Values Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Education (HVWSHE) initiative, UN-HABITAT started a new
initiative: “Human Values and Ethics in the Workplace” (HVEW) in 2005.
To date, the Global Dharma Center has supported this initiative by
organizing stakeholder consultations with over 550 people working in
professions related to water education, utilities, and the government in
Africa and South Asia and has
conducted pilot workshops with over 170 participants from thirteen
countries in those regions.
|
In support of
the goal to improve leadership and performance in every aspect of the water
education, supply and sanitation sectors, this
capacity-building has been
designed to
enable
working adults to be leaders and practitioners of human values and ethics in
their work, by developing and strengthening six core
capacities:
-
Increase awareness about the importance and role
of human values and ethics at work
-
Identify and draw from human value strengths in
all work activities
-
Define the need for ethics at work and generate
creative ways to strengthen the environment for human values and ethics
-
Practice and encourage others to have a purity
and unity of thought, word, and action
-
Recognize how to positively influence the work
environment and establish guiding principles based on human values
-
Make the commitment to be a champion of human
values and ethics in the workplace
This
programme can be used
as resource
material for incorporating human values and ethics into workshops,
staff meetings, awareness programmes, leadership training,
team-building, and organization development.
