Code of Conduct: The Challenge
A strong code of conduct is vital for employees to know what is expected of them. A successful code of conduct that is followed by all employees, from leadership to management to each and every worker is an important part of building an ethical, inclusive culture at work.
But an organisation seeking to formulate a successful code of conduct or update an outdated one may quickly run into difficulties. Off-the-shelf training rarely encapsulates the nuances of each individual organisation’s policies and procedures, and write-your-own solutions are cumbersome and time-consuming.
The solution: Not your parents’ training
Whether your code of conduct is sitting on an intranet in dire need of an update or is a flashy handbook consisting of only a few pages, VinciWorks’ code of conduct training solution can help.

1. Choose your own branding
Adding key personal touches can go even further to help with smooth integration. You can add custom branding to give the training a look-and-feel that’s consistent with your organization’s theme. Add your logo, edit the colour pallet and include your organisation’s name in the course title.
2. Turn sections on or off
The course covers over 20 topics in a wide range of compliance and ethics areas, from discrimination, sexual harassment and diversity to fair competition, bribery and money laundering. The easy to use builder allows administrators and managers to turn sections on or off to fit in with each organisation’s code of conduct, with a simple click of a button.
3. Insert contact details and links to internal policies and procedures
Course administrators can personalise the course to make it the most useful and effective for learners by adding contact information for relevant contact people as well as links to your organisation’s own internal policies. For example, add details on how to report non-compliance, links to your whistleblowing channels and your organisation’s DPO for GDPR. You can also add a custom module that covers internal procedures.
4. Add customised text to reflect your own priorities
How do you ensure your code of conduct rules are understood and followed, and breaches reported? The right phrasing can be vital in order to get the message across most effectively to a specific audience. Craft your own customised text to help communicate the sorts of behaviours that you expect of your employees in order to uphold your values and help your organisation’s culture thrive. You might want to change the intro text of the course, rewrite some of the scenarios to be more tailored to your staff’s learning needs, or alter the language of the course to be in line with language sensitivities.
5. Translations into multiple languages
