Business Ethics Alliance Launches 2012 Programming Dialogue

CEO panel will lead thought-provoking discussion on the intersection of hiring and values

The Business Ethics Alliance will launch its 2012 Ethics Programming through its Dialogue series – to spark a critical conversation on the ethics of hiring. Panelists include Tawanna Black, CEO, Innovations by Design, LLC; David Brown, president and CEO, Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce; and Dean Hodges, owner of a local Jimmy Johns restaurant.

The Dialogue will tackle crucial questions such as: How is the hiring process informed by our values? Do ethics come into play when small, medium and large firms make hiring decisions? Do they consider a person’s veteran status? Or sexual orientation? Is it ethical to avoid hiring people who lost their jobs or those out of work for a year or two?

This is the sixth year the Business Ethics Alliance has hosted the Dialogue. The Dialogue series was developed to bring the entire business community together to discuss issues in business ethics. The Dialogue is just one series of the many ethics programs offered by the Business Ethics Alliance.
