How do I know whether what’s good for my business is also good for my clients? How do I juggle what’s beneficial for me against what’s beneficial for others? How do I determine whether my business practices are substantively fair to all my employees despite their different needs, abilities and circumstances? This session will include principle-based ethics and consequence-based ethics, how they differ and how they can be used together to create responsible, caring business practices. We will also discuss feminist ethics and substantive fairness versus equal treatment.
