Ethics of The Office: Lessons Learned from the Employees of Dunder Mifflin | Supervision and The Office: Lessons Learned from the Managers of Dunder Mifflin |

Scholars and ethicists took notice when PBS affiliate WVIA in Scranton Pennsylvania released its documentary: "The Office: An American Workplace." Never before has there been such an in-depth, candid, and long-running audio-visual examination of workplace conduct - and there is much that social service professionals can learn from the award-winning biopic. In this workshop, we'll examine the ethical breaches of Dunder Mifflin employees as well as similar breaches by licensed professionals in Ohio and other states, and we'll explore ways to mitigate our own risk through the application of state and national codes and resources. Objectives:
| The NBC show "The Office" provided viewers with unvarnished access into the daily activities in an average office setting. While the employees in the television show were engaged in the sale of paper, rather than the provision of social services, there is much that supervisors in the various social service fields can learn from the managers of Dunder Mifflin. In this workshop, we'll explore methods to help foster supervisee professional development, utilize cultural humility, and build the supervisory relationship. We'll also examine what it means to serve as your profession's gate-keeper. Attendees do not need to be familiar with the television show - but if you are a fan of the show, you'll enjoy the case examples. Objectives:
