Corporate Responsibility

Ethics Awareness and Training

We ensure our employees understand our business conduct requirements through ethics training and awareness activities. In 2011, we will require our employees to take training on our new code of business conduct.

We also require training for employees whose jobs we consider high risk. We have specific required modules on anticorruption, business intelligence, insider trading, antitrust and government relations for management-level employees.

We have developed an automated tracking system that helps us check if our third-party sales representatives have been properly screened and meet our contractual requirements.

Awareness and training

During 2010, Motorola, Inc. employees completed more than 17,000 hours of training. This primarily targeted managers and employees who interact with governments, customers and suppliers.

In line with the Motorola, Inc. goal for 2010, we developed mandatory training for subcontractors and their employees working on certain high-risk projects. We also developed an online ethics briefing to help contract employees understand our code of business conduct, what is expected of them and how to raise concerns using the EthicsLine.

Ethics quizzes

Quizzes are an effective way to engage employees and to assess levels of awareness about ethical issues.

During the 2010 China Ethics Day, employees and contractors were encouraged to complete an online quiz. The questions were designed to raise awareness of our policies on a wide range of ethics topics, including privacy and confidentiality, gifts and entertainment and embezzlement. More than 1,000 people from 11 cities took the quiz.

We also included an ethics quiz in the 2010 teambuilding workshop at Motorola Korea. Around 700 employees took part in a live quiz session, which provided a fun and interactive way to learn about key ethics issues.
