Is Uncertainty and Change Leading to Misconduct in Your Organization?

According to ECI Research, during significant shifts within an organization, employees face over twice the pressure to compromise on rules, leading to a dramatic surge in observed misconduct.

3 Reasons to Conduct A Culture Survey This Year

1.  You don’t know what you don’t know.

There is no denying that the workplace has undergone fundamental shifts over the past few years. You owe it to your employees to ask how they are faring during this challenging time and to ask often. Uncovering employee overall stress level and pressure points, gives your organization a chance to act before misconduct happens and strongly sends the message that the organization wants employee engagement and feedback.

2.  You need data and metrics more than ever.

Reliable data is crucial for businesses as they grow and innovate. Our world is in flux, workplaces are in flux, but one thing remains true. Employees want to be heard. One thing to keep in mind is that surveying employees once a year or once every two years is most likely not going to be enough. Times of change mean that employees’ attitudes and behaviors also change frequently. Asking employees to take short pulse surveys regularly will provide you with data and metrics that feed into the strategic business decisions that many organizations are making on a daily basis.

3.  Let employees tell you how they think your organization is doing.

The best leaders understand that especially during times of uncertainty employees want open and honest information, as well as care and compassion. These tenets build a foundation of trust in leadership that creates a workplace culture that can withstand pressure and change.

Gathering employee feedback on the ethical culture at your organization is critical to measure the impact of your ethics and compliance program. Leverage ECI’s longstanding Ethics Culture Assessment questions and employee benchmarks.
