In the season six premiere of The Business Integrity School podcast, Cindy Moehring is joined by Mary Gentile, author and creator of the Giving Voice to Values program, which helps business students implement ethics principles into their regular business practices. During the episode, Cindy and Mary discuss the importance of the Giving Voice To Values program and how each of the program's seven ethics principles can help people speak up when unethical situations in the workplace arise. The pair discusses how advancements in technology have presented new challenges when it comes to tech ethics. Gentile said often the problems surrounding tech ethics are not unique to that one company but related to the features of the particular technology. When an employee is faced with unethical workplace situations, Gentile stresses the importance of finding influential people in leadership and even talking with the technology groups inside the company when raising concerns, as those groups typically understand the technology best. Before concluding the conversation, Gentile put emphasis on speaking up in the workplace by saying that it helps lay the foundation for a career. Speaking up in one situation is likely to help people if they find themselves in similar situations down the road, and influence a company's use of the technology in question. To learn more about Gentile's ethics program, visit her website or read Gentile's "Giving Voice to Values" book.
