UN Global Compact Dilemma Game 

Everyday employees face difficult dilemmas and make decisions that are critical to your business. The UN Global Compact Dilemma Game recreates these challenging situations and train your employees in making the right choices.

The best learning comes from experience

 

Using real business dilemmas to train your employees in making the right choices, players learn in a safe environment where they can explore how to handle ethical dilemmas and stakeholder responses without putting the business at risk. 

  

Embed responsibility in your business with this tried and tested learning tool

 

The UN Global Compact Dilemma Game has been played by business leaders, company boards, managers, NGOs and universities in over 40 countries. The game can be used to achieve a number of training objectives including: risk and issue identification, demonstrating the business case for CSR, educating employees about the practical application of the Global Compact and stakeholder engagement, as well as to stress test company policies.

 

 

The game was developed by Responsible Business Solutions - now part of KPMG - and funded by the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs

UN Global Compact

The UN Global Compact Dilemma Game is based on the ten principles of the UN Global Compact, covering human rights, labour standards, the environment and anti-corruption.

 

 

 

 

What would you do? Try a dilemma from the game

Labour Standards dilemma

 

You are involved in the recruitment of a new receptionist.  In the past it has been difficult to find suitably qualified and experienced candidates for this job.  Together with your manager you are shortlisting the applications for interview.  You notice that your manager seems to be rejecting any application with a ’foreign’ name and is not selecting them for an interview.  You think one or two of these candidates are well qualified and would like to interview them.

 

What do you do?

You have four possible choices you can make in response to this dilemma.  Select the action you will take:

  • Option 1(PDF 0,1 MB): Nothing, you are sure your manager has good reasons for not wanting to interview them
  • Option 2 (PDF 0,1 MB): Ask your manager to explain why she does not want to interview them, and challenge her decision
  • Option 3 (PDF 0,1 MB): Say nothing to your manager but tell her superior what happened, and let them decide what to do
  • Option 4 (PDF 0,1 MB):Say nothing to your manager but speak to the Human Resources department. Ask them to send out a memo to managers reminding them of the company’s recruitment and equal opportunities policies
