IPG understands the importance of training, particularly as it relates to ensuring a workplace that operates ethically and protects human rights for every individual.

IPG provides annual Code of Conduct training to employees, covering various topics in the Code such as data security, data privacy, and diversity, equity and inclusion.

Additionally, IPG provides anti-harassment training to all new hires in the United States (U.S.). IPG also provides this training to senior managers outside the U.S. Every two years, we re-train California managers, and every four years, we re-train all U.S. employees. IPG’s CEO invites and encourages all employees to take these courses and we have maintained high levels of employee participation.

See IPG’s response to GRI 404-1 under Training & Development for more information on related employee training.
