Working Values Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of SmartPros Ltd. (AMEX:PED), designed Learning Moments to help organizations reinforce and sustain their ethics and compliance programs by delivering brief but powerful learning modules throughout an organization, on a more frequent basis.

David Gebler, President of Working Values, stated, "Ethics and compliance professionals are often only able to connect with their employees once a year for annual code of conduct certification, training, or employee surveys. When asked, these integrity-focused professionals all share similar concerns: how to reach employees the rest of the year."

The Ethics Learning Moments is a solution to satisfy ongoing training needs by enabling companies to maintain awareness of critical policies and corporate culture issues that undermine integrity in the workplace. In addition, it provides companies with a snapshot of employees’ understanding regarding ethics issues.

Gebler added, “Often, the only feedback companies receive on ethics and compliance issues comes from the firm's hotline. Learning Moments provides a proactive glimpse into the firm’s comprehension of an issue. In an environment where awareness and understanding are vital to sound business practices, all organizations should consider the Ethics Learning Moments.”

Working Values' proactive approach to managing a culture of compliance is designed to assist with Sarbanes-Oxley and the new Federal Sentencing Guidelines. The implementation of the Learning Moments platform alerts senior leadership to possible misunderstandings of policies and provides an added layer of risk assessment.

Learning Moments are available in both online and offline deployment options and can be readily customized to address topics and content that are unique to an individual organization. To receive more information on Learning Moments, visit www.workingvalues.com.
