Why Character@Work?

One needs to look no further than the daily newspaper to find numerous instances of the lack of good character and ethics in businesses across the nation. In his book Good to Great, researcher and author Jim Collins reports that one of the key elements of successful, “great” companies is their focus on the “character” of their employees.

Although “codes of ethics” may be helpful, it is the personal character of the leaders and the employees that ultimately sets great companies apart. Character@Work™ goes beyond the external prescriptions of “business ethics” and focuses on the importance of personal character and motivation.

Character@Work™ focuses on creating an environment where all employees are respected, cared for and challenged to do their best work.

By supporting character development in the workplace, business leaders can also make a positive impact on individuals who, as parents and community members, can have a positive impact on the local community and society at large.
