About the Program

As part of Baruch College’s annual Ethics Week, the Robert Zicklin Center for Corporate Integrity is proud to welcome Stephanie Cuba for an event titled “Navigating Professional Growth and Workplace Best Practices.” This event will explore the intersection of professional development and workplace hygiene.

Professional development refers to the continuous process of acquiring skills, knowledge, and experience to enhance one’s career growth and effectiveness in the workplace. This includes communication skills, leadership abilities, networking, and adapting to industry trends.

Workplace hygiene involves the standards and behaviors that contribute to a professional, respectful, and efficient work environment. This encompasses everything from organizational skills and professional communication to ethical decision-making and workplace etiquette.

While the primary focus of this talk will be on the best practices for professional growth and workplace conduct, the discussion will also touch on the ethical implications of these practices.  By the end of the event, attendees will walk away with actionable strategies for navigating the challenges that arise in the pursuit of career excellence.
