As part of our Atlantic Speaker Spotlight Series we are pleased to invite members of the four Atlantic provincial broker associations to join us for another great webinar!  This one is "A Guide to Workplace Integrity," facilitated by Melanie Needham, MRD Training & Consulting Inc.

What does it mean to have integrity? And what role does it play in career advancement and job satisfaction?

These questions make up the heart of this course on workplace integrity. In it, you’ll consider the benefits and challenges of maintaining integrity when making difficult workplace decisions. You’ll learn about the three forms of workplace integrity and see real-world examples of it in action. You’ll also uncover four steps to align your values and actions and become a professional that others trust, admire, and respect.
