OD1-103 Ethics for Professional Organizers & Productivity Specialists

Course Description
Participants in this one-hour class are introduced to the NAPO Code of Ethics and then challenged to apply each of the Code’s concepts to real-world issues faced by professional organizers and productivity specialists. The class addresses the question of what constitutes ethical behavior and what is the purpose of the NAPO Code of Ethics. Participants examine each section of the Code of Ethics, including provisions for ethical behavior toward colleagues; ethical requirements toward the public and clients; and ethical and legal use of intellectual property. Each topic is coupled with real-life situations faced by professionals in the field to give participants a chance to apply the Code to professional conduct.
