This year’s GBES highlighted some significant takeaways about the state of ethics & compliance in the workplace across several dimensions:

• For the first time, the survey explores whether where employees perform the majority of their work—remote, on-site, or “on the road”1—can impact the employee’s experience and the organization’s ethical culture.

• How we work and its continuing evolution—which can bring about increased ethical challenges and risk.

• A strong ethical culture remains a significant driver to employees being less likely to feel pressure to compromise integrity and observe ethical infractions.

• Continued investment in elevating and expanding ethics and compliance programs matters because a high-quality ethics & compliance program3 (HQP) helps to ensure that core values are promoted and that problems come to light so they can be addressed before they worsen.

The long-range view of workplace ethics & compliance provided by ECI’s GBES is more critical than ever, helping us to better understand this moment and empowering us with knowledge to tackle what lies ahead.
