Organization:
Ontario Municipal Leadership Institute (OMLI)

VIRTUAL - FREE SESSION (2PM - 2:30PM EST), Ontario, Canada

End Date:

Description
Is your organization committed to the highest ethical standards? 

Does your organization have a “Safe Disclosure” Policy in Effect?

Do you have the systems and processes in place to support your policies? 

Based on our Municipal Service Delivery Review experience, we've pinpointed several key gaps in today’s municipal organizations, particularly in the areas of controls and capacity. The aftermath of the COVID pandemic has notably weakened our focus on internal controls and reduced our organizations' capacity as well as ability to tackle emerging challenges. As a result of competing priorities, addressing organizational culture often only becomes a priority after we've suffered damage to our reputation and lost public trust.

Join us for an informal discussion about:

  • The importance of having a "Safe Disclosure Reporting" process that supports your existing policies.
  • Fostering a culture of honesty, accountability, and transparency while addressing and building public trust.
  • The importance of having the right tools in place is essential for employees to report inappropriate workplace activity, unethical behaviour or unlawful conduct.
  • Unchecked workplace misconduct can lead to severe consequences for the organization, including financial losses, public disgrace, and damage to its reputation.
  • If your Employees are the first line of defence in protecting your organization - how well equipped are they?

Don’t wait until your organization is in the spotlight for the wrong reasons—take a proactive approach and join us to learn how you can enhance your organization’s culture and improve your processes!
