We aim to create an interactive educational program(s) that will reach all county employees. The key messages will be: • Before we can commit to ethical business decisions and conduct, we need a shared understanding of what that means to each person. • We need each employee to understand their own ethical expectations beyond simply not violating our ethics policy. In partnership with our Human Resources department and stakeholders, we seek a contractor who can: • Work with stakeholders to develop key course objectives. • Create interactive educational programs for both formal leaders and staff as follows. • Create four different educational programs to be delivered to county staff. 1. Ethical conduct training that would be delivered by a supervisor at a team meeting, with option for the supervisor to customize it to that work group (assume one-half hour and audience of 5 – 30). 2. Ethical conduct training that would be delivered by the consultant at a series of department all-staff meetings (assume about five of these, one-hour in duration, and audiences of 100 – 450) 3. Ethical conduct training that would be delivered by the consultant at the county’s annual Department Head/Supervisor Retreat – Tentatively scheduled for the afternoon of September 12, 2024. This presentation would focus on decision-making for supervisors and highlight the importance of ethics in the county’s new strategic plan and Vision/Mission/Values. 4. Content for the County’s supervisor academy that would be delivered by an HR professional (assume one-half hour and audience of 30).
