Digital Ethics For Your Workplace

Does your company or organization need to develop policies for appropriate and inappropriate uses of information and computing technologies (such as mobile devices, cloud storage, desktop computers, and specialized software)? Does it want to review or rethink its existing policies from a perspective that includes (but goes beyond) “conforming to legal requirements”? If the answer to either question is “Yes”, then this highly interactive and engaging workshop is for you. It can help you develop proactive policies, tailored to your company, to encourage accountable, reflective, and responsible uses of those technologies.
