Module 1 Blog - Introduction and Ethics Statement

Introduction

My name is Cathy Mocibob. I live in Patterson, New York with my husband John, son Jason, and my Boston Terrier named Vino.

I work for United Rentals, Inc. as Manager, Learning and HR Systems within the Human Resources department. I have been with the company since 2003. In my position, I oversee web-based training for over 12,000 employees nationwide, as well as in Canada. I am looking forward to learning new ways to improve my we based training offerings through design and development techniques.

I have a BS from ESC in Business, Management and Economics with a concentration in Human Resource Management. I have chosen to pursue a Master’s Degree in Learning and Emerging Technologies with ESC. This is my second semester. This summer, I am also taking Designing Online Learning Environments.

In my spare time, I enjoy shopping, wine tasting, yoga, spinning, watching professional sports, and traveling with my family.

Personal Ethics Statement

Personal ethics are very important to me both personally and professionally. Throughout my life I have chosen to sustain certain core values including effective communication, time management, responsibility, integrity, honesty, and consistency.  In addition, I have a strong work ethic and consider myself to be organized, hardworking, and consistently strive to maintain a positive attitude and strategic outlook in my work and personal life. I feel that these core values make me the dedicated wife, mother, employee, and student that I consistently strive to be. As I learn, grow, and develop my skills, I reflect on my behaviors and decisions towards continuous improvement.  

In my workplace, I oversee ethics and compliance web based training.  It is my personal belief in the importance of business ethics that helps me to continuously improve and promote this program and make it a value for my company and our employees. Through my company's business code of conduct and my own personal code of conduct, I am able to define who I am and what my beliefs are - in an effort to reflect those attributes to others in both my business and personal lives. I chose to lead by example, and act as both a role model and mentor to others.
