The newest initiative, Ethics & Integrity Challenge, aims to encourage students and young professionals to question how ethical decision-making is applied in an appropriate way to produce a dynamic, value-driven, and highly productive workplace culture. Read ahead for more details.
IE Ethics and Integrity Challenge
As future leaders and change-makers, students and young professionals must find ways to promote innovative thinking and ethical behavior in their daily lives to prompt a path towards a more inclusive and respectful society. The purpose of this challenge is for them to showcase their knowledge and creativity and find adaptable solutions to everyday problems faced by individuals in the workplace.
Why Should You Participate?

- Increase ability to resolve dilemmas ethically in common real-life situations
- Provide career opportunities for students and young professionals
- Develop an awareness of ethical standards in the workplace and daily life
- Embrace the spirit of teamwork and diversity
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Fifteen teams, consisting of 3-6 participants each, are required to write a detailed report based on a case addressing ethical dilemmas in the workplace. All teams will have one week to submit the report, which will then be evaluated by a panel of five judges. Of the fifteen reports which will be submitted, each judge will be randomly assigned to evaluate three reports. Each of the five judges will then select one team out of three to qualify for the next round and stand before the entire panel for the final presentations. At the final presentation round, the jury will announce the winning team.
