Corporate policies serve as a tangible manifestation of a business's core values and ethical standards, and these policies can help to cultivate a cohesive organizational culture that aligns with those values and standards. For instance, transparent communication policies can build trust within the workforce, encouraging open dialogue and collaborative problem solving. Company policies related to political and economic changes can highlight a company’s core values as well.

Join Rich John, adjunct professor at Cornell Law School, as he talks about how a company’s rules and the policies they implement have a direct connection to what they value. Professor John will also look at past precedent and discuss why more and more companies are defining their political stances in their employee handbooks.
