Calling all trainers!

This is an email from one of our Australian members...

Hi to all our Trainers and Public Speakers,

I am collecting stories from trainers and presenters highlighting some of their interesting, amusing or embarrassing experiences whilst 'on the job'. You know - those moments when you wish the ground would just open up - or - you laughed so hard you thought you would pee your pants - or, maybe - an emotional moment that brought you almost to tears.

No one has attempted to bring trainers wisdom and wit together before so our day has come - be in it guys! Get those fingers tapping and send your stories off to me at the e-mail address below.

These stories will be sorted (according to type), collated and published in a book that will have your name and details in it. Conversely, if you wish to remain anonymous, that's OK too. All contributors will receive a free copy of the published book.

Trainers and Presenters are the most motivated, action orientated people I know so I look forward to my IN box spilling over during the next few days:-) Also, if you have friends and colleagues who are also 'in the profession', please forward this on to them to give them the opportunity to contribute.

Thank you for your contributions in advance, and just keep on doing what you do so well - inspiring others.

Jan

Business ethics training rises dramatically

According to a recent survey by The Institute of Business Ethics (IBE), 71% of companies now train their employees in ethics, compared with 47% in 2004.

This is the first time such training has been offered by the majority of companies included in the survey.

The report also shows that only 13% of the organisations believe ethics to be a subject for HR, while almost half see it as a legal department matter.

Simon Webley, research director at the IBE said “Liaising with HR is critical in getting the information companies need on business ethics, exit interviews and staff surveys – both handled by HR – are important in getting a good indication of an organisation’s ethics.”
