The Ethics & Compliance Initiative’s (ECI’s) Ethics Culture Assessment is a comprehensive employee survey that measures the impact of ethics & compliance (E&C) programs and ethics culture. ECI’s survey framework is based on over three decades of research and collaboration with leading E&C practitioners and academics. Since 1990, ECI has tested and fielded over 300 questions through its Global Business Ethics Survey® (GBES®) and client surveys. ECI has isolated a series of key topic areas and questions that have proven to be reliable and valid indicators of E&C program strength and ethics culture. Findings from ECI’s Ethics Culture Assessment can be used in conjunction with ECI’s HQP Assessment to provide organizations with an analysis of the impact and quality of their E&C programs and ethics cultures. This document provides a high-level overview of the topic areas included in ECI’s Ethics Culture Assessment. The length of the assessment is customized based on the needs of each organization.
