Each federal employee has a responsibility to the United States Government and its citizens to place loyalty to the Constitution, laws and ethical principles above private gain. The purpose of this training is to reinforce your basic knowledge about your ethical obligations regarding gifts from outside sources and between federal employees; outside activities; and political activities. Detailed information about these topics, as well as other ethics issues such as conflicts of interest, can be accessed using the links available below. As an employee who is required under the ethics regulations to complete one hour of ethics training annually, you will have satisfied your training requirements upon completing this online training. This training was developed by the Ethics Education and Program Review branch of the Office of the General Counsel Ethics Division for use throughout the Department of Health and Human Services. Your operating or staff division may require you to complete ethics training in lieu of or in addition to this training. |
