"To truly change the culture in
state government, we need to ensure that everyone involved -- from
the elected officials down to the mailroom clerks -- understands
what the rules are and how they apply to our work as employees of
the public," said Blagojevich.
The 60-minute Web-based
program, developed by California-based LRN, The Legal Knowledge
Company, puts employees through several scenarios that test their
responses to realistic workplace situations. The training covers key
provisions of the new ethics laws, including the gift ban act,
political activities, fund-raising, bribery and official misconduct.
The
training program is followed by a 10-question quiz. Employees must
get at least eight correct answers to pass. Those who answer more
than two questions incorrectly must retake the training and quiz.
