Question ID: 262575
I am working on behalf of a large international company. We are in the
process of restating to all employees our commitment to ethical
behavior at every level of the organization. Each employee attended
ethics training and received an ethics guidebook and pocket reminder
card.

To provide ongoing reinforcement of the need for ethical behavior, and
to encourage all employees to actively consider what constitutes
ethical actions on their part, we want to present a series of videos
that pose ethical dilemmas. The employees would view the videos, and
then be encouraged to discuss and resolve the dilemmas.

I would like you to see if you can find a supplier of pre-produced
videos that could be used in this way. Ideally, each video would be
short (less than five minutes) and present a single, ethical dilemma.
We need ethical scenarios involving both office and plant employees.
Live action or animated videos would be acceptable. I need the links
to websites of possible providers.

Links to generic video providers will not be helpful. I specifically
need videos related to ethics.

There are many videos listed at
http://www.rctm.com/app/Category/62221.html that you may want to
review.  Many offer a free video preview.  Possibilities from that
page that I feel may assist your company are:

ethical dilemmas they may encounter in the workplace and will become
