ERC Fellows Working Groups
The ERC Fellows Program Supports seven active working groups to conduct collaborative research and practical work products, including: white papers, interviews, surveys, templates, and literature reviews.
This group is investigating the evolving nature of the CECO role and whether, in the 5 years since its publication, the vision laid out in ERC's publication Leading Corporate Integrity: Defining the role of the CECO has been fulfilled, neglected, or rendered obsolete.
Social Networking & Ethics
This group will investigate how ethics and compliance programs should integrate social networking technologies in an effort to positively influence ethical culture and behavior, as well as investigate the dynamics of existing social networks in the workplace, and how they might be utilized to enhance ethics & compliance programs.
International Culture Integration
This working group is working towards the goal of researching, authoring, and distributing multiple reports on the cultural, behavorial, and regulatory challenges that face companies attempting to implement ethics & compliance programs overseas. This group's reports will be nation or region-specific and aim to provide ethics officers with an overview of what to expect when working in the subject nation or region.
Fellows Work Product Re-Packaging
This group will review the archives of the ERC Fellows Program and identify past working group deliverables that should be repackaged and reproduced. These deliverables will be analyzed and updated as necessary, then made available to the Fellows in their repackaged form.
Procedural Justice
The Procedural Justice group is currently conducting a study of complaint management procedures, through a survey given to employees who use their company's hotline to file a complaint.
