The Risk of Non-Compliance: A Report from ECI’s Global Business Ethics Survey

When it comes to the potential for employees to engage in non-compliant behavior in the workplace, the risk is great. Through the longitudinal Global Business Ethics Survey® (GBES®), the Ethics & Compliance Initiative (ECI) regularly tracks the extent to which employees are in situations that result in non-compliance. We also identify the business practices that reduce the likelihood of future wrongdoing. Now more than ever, employees are being exposed to situations that result in wrongdoing.
