Application
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to develop and implement policies and procedures that embed and promote values and culture in an organisation.
It involves assessing the current state of the organisation’s values and culture, modelling organisational values, embedding ethical practice into the organisation's culture and processes and promoting ethical leadership and decision making at all levels of the organisation.
It applies to responsible managers in financial services organisations, who are responsible for leading and influencing work practices and conduct in the organisation. They use cognitive and creative skills to review, critically analyse, consolidate and synthesise knowledge, in order to generate ideas and provide solutions to complex problems. They use communication skills to demonstrate their understanding of theoretical concepts and to transfer knowledge and ideas to others.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
