The ECI Global Business Ethics Survey® U.S. Trends Report on the State of Ethics & Compliance in the Workplace, is the most reliable longitudinal, cross-sectional study of workplace conduct from the employee’s perspective in publicly and privately held, for-profit companies.
This report details U.S. trends in terms of culture, ethics, and compliance (E&C) programs, and the key ethics outcomes of pressure, observed misconduct, reporting of misconduct, and retaliation to analyze trends over time.
The U.S. Trends report highlights that a strong ethical culture continues to be a critical factor in reducing both pressure to compromise standards and the rate of observed misconduct. Both elements can create unneeded risk and liability, along with a negative impact on the bottom line for organizations. In weak ethical cultures, employees are four times more likely to feel pressure to compromise standards than an employee in an organization with a strong ethical culture.
