Workplace misconduct is too costly to ignore — that much is known. But without clear links to business outcomes, keeping workplace ethics initiatives front and center is hard. In fact, less than a third of compliance executives feel confident in their ability to improve their organization’s integrity. And with 59% of observed workplace misconduct going unreported, it’s time to focus on corporate compliance.
Our research indicates that the most effective way to foster a culture of integrity is by building stronger climates, or local environments that reinforce broader cultural values and beliefs. This decreases employee observed misconduct and improves employee reporting rates, as well as overall business performance. Manager preparedness is also key to ensuring higher reporting rates ultimately translate into ethical behavior and improved workplace integrity.
