Description
As a manager, it's only human to have employees who you like more than others. But there are ways to handle this tendency toward favoritism in an ethical way. Likewise, you might feel inclined to hire someone you already know, or even someone you're related to. How would you do this without falling into the trap of nepotism? In this program, we'll talk about how to navigate the waters of favoritism and nepotism as a manager. We'll define these terms and discuss some examples in the workplace. We'll go over why favoritism and nepotism can be problematic, how you can change or avoid these scenarios, and how to manage your team in a fair and balanced way.

Professional Boundaries: Nepotism and Favoritism
As a manager, it's only human to have employees who you like more than others. But there are ways to handle this tendency toward favoritism in an ethical way. Likewise, you might feel inclined to hire someone you already know, or even someone you're related to. How would you do this without falling into the trap of nepotism?

We'll go over why favoritism and nepotism can be problematic, how you can change or avoid these scenarios, and how to manage your team in a fair and balanced way.
Professional Boundaries: Confidentiality
As a manager, you'll be privy to more information than the average employee. Maintaining confidentiality is essential for preserving trust and protecting company information. How do you keep that information private? When do you need to break confidentiality and share information with HR or the authorities? In this course, we'll answer those questions and discuss the importance of confidentiality. We'll talk about the types of private information you may need to protect and how to keep it secure. We'll also talk about instances that may require you to share confidential information and the best way to do so.
Professional Boundaries: Conflicts of Interest
Conflicts of interest can create ethical problems within a workplace. These can include issues with employees, managers, customers, vendors, competitors, and so forth. In this course, we'll take a look at what exactly qualifies as a conflict of interest. We'll go over some common scenarios where these conflicts may arise and talk about how to avoid them in the first place. We'll address disclosing conflicts of interest and why it's important to do so. Lastly, we'll talk about what to do when a conflict of interest occurs and how to properly handle it.
Professional Boundaries: Office Romances
Office romances happen. In fact, they're probably much more common than you think, which is why most companies have policies on them. In this program, we'll discuss how to manage romantic relationships among your employees. We'll talk about understanding and communicating your policies, including relationships between different levels or within the same department. We'll also discuss the fine line between flirting and sexual harassment. We'll go over the importance of disclosing these relationships, setting workplace boundaries, and dealing with the fallout of an office romance breakup.
