Ethics in Weatherization

Most of us are regularly faced with ethical questions in our work. Should we accept gifts from clients? Is it proper to purchase valuable antiques from clients? What is the best action if we notice domestic violence? Is it ethical to have a sexual relationship with a client? Some ethical questions are easily answered with a simple “yes” or “no”, but others need further thought or discussion. This session will help weatherization crews, auditors, inspectors, and managers define what is ethical and what is not. Your participation and stories about your experiences are welcome and encouraged.

By attending this session, participants will

1. Learn about the ways ethics affect your daily actions on the job

2. Recognize the importance of establishing a code of ethics or a code of conduct for your organization

3. Have a better understanding of simple methods for making ethical decisions in your work life and in your interactions with clients, suppliers, and fellow workers
